Amanda Spielman said she was "not comfortable" with younger children having unlimited internet access.
She was being interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live about influencer Andrew Tate, who has been detained as part of an investigation into allegations of human trafficking and rape - which he denies.Mr Tate, a former kickboxer, has millions of online followers - despite being banned from sites including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for misogynistic comments.
Asked whether she thought no child under the age of 11 should be given smartphones, she said: "I'm not comfortable with younger children having unlimited internet access." But it is "not possible to totally control and contain adolescents' lives", she added - and it is the job of schools, parents and society to make sure that children "can steer past all of these undesirable influences".
