Baroness Beeban Kidron, a well-known film director, has become a passionate advocate for children's online safety. She believes big technology companies must do much more to protect young people from harm.
Lady Kidron has witnessed deeply upsetting cases of online abuse affecting children. These experiences have made her determined to fight for change.
