Twitter apology over porn video

It's good that Twitter has acted quickly in this case, but it's a stark reminder that social media platforms are not always safe for young people.

It's vital small children are supervised on the internet and are educated about staying safe as they get older.

There is a very real danger in terms of online pornography facing our children and it's not going to go away.

From technology companies to parents, we must all play our part in keeping young people safe online.
