Sajid Javid, a father of four, tells Sky News about his home rules for tech and wanting to 'help protect everyone's children'.
"If you look at where children have been abused and groomed it's often where they seem safe in their bedrooms, but they're actually not because they're online.
In speech at the British Library, Mr Javid said to tech companies:"I warned you and you didn't listen." Furthermore, non-compliant domains could be named and shamed. More controversially, serious offending websites could be blocked in the UK and individual managers could face prosecution. He adds:"What really troubles me is that when I spoke to the companies in Paris last week at the G7, they told me that they hadn't really prepared for a live-streaming of a terrorist incident. Now, I found that quite shocking.
