Civil liberties champion Nathan Seiuli weighs up proposed online laws intended to protect children from internet harms. The founding head of PILLAR argues that a statutory ban risks expanding beyond its original scope, grants power to subjective arbitrators, and removes parental responsibility.

Instead, Mr Seiuli advocates for family-level solutions like New Zealand-made parental control tools (e.g. Safe Surf) over state intervention, stressing that privacy and freedom of speech and conscience remain non-negotiable pillars of democracy. (www.nzpillar.com)
