Keira Knightley revealed on BBC Radio 4 that she has banned social media in her home in order to protect her two kids from "unregulated spaces"
She said that her two daughters, Edie and Delilah, are not allowed on devices if she and husband James Righton "can't see what they're looking at"

Keira Knightley is setting social media boundaries for her young children.
The Woman in Cabin 10 star, 40, opened up on BBC Radio 4 this week about her concerns of her children Edie, 10, and Delilah, 6, eventually joining social media and spending too much time on their devices.
"I find it very terrifying because they're unregulated spaces," Knightley said, in a video shared by the outlet on Wednesday, Oct. 23. "And I think for children, unregulated spaces are ones I want to protect them from."
"So in our house, we've got a no social media thing," she explained. "They're not allowed on devices if we can't see what they're looking at…"

The actress — who shares her two daughters with her husband, musician James Righton — added that she didn't "know" whether or not that was the right move or "how long" she could "keep that going" with technology so prevalent today.
When BBC Radio 4 host Anna Foster chimed wondering how Knightley responds to the increasingly difficult "peer pressure," the Love Actually actress admitted that she and her husband "haven't had that yet" — thanks in part to their school system.
"We're at one of the schools that is doing that 'social media-free' childhood where the parents mostly all do the same thing," she shared.
"So I think most of the parents at the school, there was a big push and I think most of us are in agreement that that's the way forward that we want to go," she added. "But obviously not everybody, because it is an issue that divides a lot of people."

Knightley added that rules differ from household to household because of parents' different stances on social media. She said she "would love it if some regulation came in so it wasn't all put on the parents."
Now that the Atonement star has become a mother, several things have changed in her life — including how she picks roles. She previously revealed to The Times that she's become pickier with the projects she signs up for since becoming a mom.
"I couldn't go job to job [abroad] now. It wouldn't be in any way fair on them, and I wouldn't want to," she told the outlet. "I've chosen to have children, I want to bring them up, so I've had to take a major step back."
"I've been really surprised in the past few years about what I've said no to," she continued. "I've wanted it to be more pure entertainment and maybe that's because I've needed that. I keep being offered things about children dying or about mothers dying. Can't do it."
