Pope Francis has warned of the dangers of allowing children to have computers in their bedrooms, saying it can lead to them watching pornography. He approved of parents putting them in a communal room in the house, saying there are things that parents can do to prevent their children accessing websites containing sexually explicit or violent material. The Argentinian pontiff said children were becoming far too attached to digital media:  ‘It harms the soul and curtails freedom - it makes you a slave of the computer’. He said that while it was important for younger generations to master digital technology, computers and other devices should be used with moderation.
