“I find it very terrifying because they’re unregulated spaces,” Keira said, explaining that she wants to protect her children from environments she can’t monitor.
“In our house, we’ve got a no social media thing. They’re not allowed on devices if we can’t see what they’re looking at.”
The Woman in Cabin 10 star admitted she isn’t sure how long that rule will last, given how connected kids are today, but said her daughters’ school has helped by promoting a “social media-free” childhood among parents.
Most families at the school follow similar boundaries, she added, though not everyone agrees on the issue. The actress also shared that she’d “love it if some regulation came in so it wasn’t all put on the parents.”
Keira recently recalled being harassed by paparazzi for years and how she handled it.
