During the phone-in, the Clacton MP raised questions about its opposition to the online security act and the new government demands that social media companies deal with illegal material and activity online, as well as materials that are harmful to children.
George Nicolau, from Hertfordshire’s Cheshnt, said his 15 -year -old son Christophoros was “killed by predators for an attack three years ago”.
He described the law as a “case of life and death” for some families.
Mr. Faraj replied: “If his age verification was capable of stopping such events and tragedies, I, George, 100% support it.
“But the problem is that it is not due to the VPN route.”
VPN or virtual private networks can enable internet users to mask the user’s digital identity, enable meading new rules.
“There should be a technical answer around it,” said Mr. Faraj.
“I don’t know what it is, of course the government does not know what it is, but there should be some kind of technical answer, and we need to find and find it.”
Mr. Faraj also said: “We are talking, how do we protect young people?
“How do we stop them from reaching dangerous, violent materials, or worse?
“I will tell you that, George, here is the real danger – that if you go through a VPN, you are again called Dark Web, which you can find online, which you can now find online.”
Mr. Kyle told Sky News earlier this week: “I see that Nigel Faraj is already saying that he is going to turn these laws.
“So you know, we have people who are extreme pornographers, hate, pedaling violence. Nigel Faraj is on their side.
“Don’t make any mistake about it, if people like Jimmy savelile He was alive today, he was committing his crimes online. And Nigel Faraj is saying that he is on his side. ,
Mr. Faraj said: “Most 13 -year -old children are more technical lovers than Peter Kail and people who attracted this law did not know what they were doing.
“We have to give a new look.”
The reform UK leader alleged that the government was “establishing an elite police force to monitor what people say about illegal immigration and migrant hotels”.
He said: “This law is the biggest threat to free, open debate and speech which we have ever seen.”
