Will Zuckerberg be quaking in his shoes?

Probably not.  So why is Jeremy Hunt making threats?  The BBC reports:
Social media firms are being threatened with new laws if they don't do more to protect children online.

In a letter to companies including Facebook and Google, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt accuses them of "turning a blind eye" to their impact on children.

He gives them until the end of April to outline action on cutting underage use, preventing cyber bullying, and promoting healthy screen time.
Perhaps the health secretary thinks this kind of stunt will add lustre to his leadership ambitions.  But I rather suspect that the great British public would prefer him to concentrate on his day job and the twin problems of the health service and social care.
