Keira Knightley shared that she wanted to protect her young children from the "terrifying" online world, and hence she has banned social media at home. The actor, 40, is a mother to kids Edie, nine, and Delilah, five, with her husband James Righton.

She told in an interview, "I find it very terrifying because they are unregulated spaces, and once children are in unregulated spaces, these are the ones I want to protect them from. So, in our house, we've got a no social media thing. They are not allowed on devices if we can't see what they are looking at. I don't know if that's right. How long can I keep that going? I don't know! I would love if some regulation came in, so it wasn't all put on the parents."

Knightley said that she was "not aware" of the boycott of Audible's Harry Potter series before signing up to voice Dolores Umbridge. Some fans have pledged to avoid the project in protest against author JK Rowling, who has faced criticism for her alleged anti-trans views.
