I listened to the audio, his question was asking is the government providing any education on the risks of social media and dating sites. He was crudely trying to explain that how you present yourself online can increase the risk of abuse. We all 100% agree it shouldn’t and we all agree 100% there shouldn’t be abusers. Unfortunately there are groomers, and abusers in societies worldwide that have access to these social media sites and dating apps.

Our children therefore are at risk.

How can we reduce the risk for them?

1) Through education of parents to help with approaches to parenting through the range of open conversations with their teenagers, monitoring use of smart phones and internet, to outright restrictions.
2) Through education of teenagers on the risks of social media and dating apps.

He was asking what the Government was doing with regards to education and programs.

I think pretending there are no risks of how you present yourself online is short sighted. With AI there will be data pulls and information pulls available at the blink of an eye. That collection of information will be used to assess you for job suitability, for financial loans suitability, but could also be used for nefarious purposes.

We all need to educate ourselves and ask what Government is doing to support this education process especially in the light of the dawn of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The PLP must be getting really worried about their record and desperate to divert attention from their failings when they resort to attacking individuals.

I don’t recall you saying this about Roban. But of course that was about ethics, which don’t matter to the PLP.

You all looked the other way at all that DREB said and did and he never apologized for anything and left this island in a desperate state while his company prospered.

Pickings are slim in the oba. The white intelligent candidates understand it’s a waste of time to run, so now the party has to look for surrogates.

If it was bad enough for him to resign over, why is it all of a sudden not an issue? The Party and Mr. Jones should have just stood firm back then.

His words were poorly put together that’s for sure!!!

But it’s time for adults to look in the mirror. How many 50 year old women post everything from their spin classes, workouts, lunches, dinners parties, travel, dresses half way up their backside and hanging out their front side on social media. Then we scream young people are putting too much inappropriate stuff on social media.

I know females/leaders in the education system who post stuff that I am aghast at seeing. Sometimes I wonder how they have time to work they post 10 times a day! So stop criticizing our young folks and have the “50” year old generation clean up their acts and set an example.

I admit, I was surprised to see Mr, Jones as a candidate.
