Keira Knightley steps up to secure her kids from social media

Keira Knightley opens up about how she protects her kids from terrifying spaces.

The actress shares two children, 9-year-old Edie and 5-year-old Delilah, with her husband James Righton.

The Bend It Like Beckham actress revealed how she prefers to control the environment of her house when it comes to the usage of the internet and social media.

While talking to BBC Radio 4, she said: "I find it very terrifying because they are unregulated spaces, and once children are in unregulated spaces, these are the ones I want to protect them from.”

"So, in our house, we've got a no social media thing. They are not allowed on devices if we can't see what they are looking at, then they are not allowed on them,” she added.

"I don't know if that's right, you know. How long can I keep that going? I don't know!"

The 40-year-old actress also revealed how most parents at her children’s school practice the same rules when it comes to the safety of their little ones.

She continued: "So, you try and go 'okay, at this play date, what are you doing to see, what are you not doing to see?'”

"And it's great to have a group of parents where you can be open and you can have those conversations, and that's what you hope, but obviously that's not the case everywhere,” the Pirates of the Caribbean star added.

"I think that is the case at our school more, in that particular year group, but I think, again, it could change from year group to year group,” the actress said.

Kiera also expressed her wish for enforcing more regulations over social media platforms so that parents of underage children can finally breathe a sigh of relief for once.

"I would love though, if some regulation came in so it wasn't all put on the parents, though," Keira expressed.

Her statement left internet users divided. While some say her strict personality with kids is invasive or ‘too much,’ others seemed to appreciate her careful move to protect her children from the unseen dangers of the internet.
