Meet Tom

Where are you from?
West Yorkshire

What are your favourite things to do online?
Personally, I mainly use the internet for keeping in touch with my friends who live far away and to watch sports on streaming platforms. I frequently use the apps Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

If you could change one thing about the internet, what would it be? Why?

If I could change one thing about the internet currently it would be to introduce restrictions on advertising targeted towards a young demographic to prevent the exploitation of children by major brands online. This would entail removing advertising and in app purchases from children’s games and websites online.

What 5 words would you use to describe yourself?

thoughtful, diligent, hard working, caring, compassionate
