      I’m not surprised to be honest. Much easier to groom/brainwash/radicalise someone at a vulnerable stage in life and social media is much bigger now.

      Social media has done irreparable harm to society. It’s not just kids, many fully functioning adults fall into insane conspiracy theories because of it. As a species we just can’t handle it, it’s just too easy to game it for nefarious purposes.

      I’d be interested to see how much of the spike was minors being arrested for supporting Palestine Action v.s other terrorism related charges (I don’t think PA should ever have been proscribed, but this is besides the point). The article itself points out that when you exclude Palestine Action, the spike in terrorism related arrests is 3% (which is still bad but not massive, and far less scary that Tommy Robinson’s gang of drunk racists, some of whom tried burning down refugee hotels but who didn’t get charged with terrorism when they should have been).

      If the data in rates of spikes was the same, it would imply that of the 32 terrorism charges on minors in 2024, the extra 3% would be an extra child, leading to out of the 53 arrests, 53-33=20 arrests for Palestine Action support. But as the article says that about 86% of terrorism related arrests overall were related to Palestine Action, and as it was a 660% spike overall, it would imply that you’d expect to see about 7.6*32 = 243ish minors charged with terrorism if the rates were the same, which is not what’s happened.

      The amount of effort and money being spent by bad actors to mold our young people is frightening.

      They’re playing a long game which will cripple our country if we don’t start taking it seriously.
      They’re using social media as an attack vector and either governments need to clamp down on them (not my preferred method) or social media companies need to really step up curating their content.

      They won’t do it willingly and as they’re US based Trump won’t allow governments to enforce bans and restrictions without retaliation.

      People will complain about censorship but I think it’s becoming a matter of national security and preservation of the country’s values.

      People’s national pride needs to be directed towards deflecting outside influence and learning to recognise these actors who come to us as friends but are actually malign.

      Social media also needs to start showing the location of social media accounts. Twitters displaying the country of origin of its accounts was illuminating but not in the least bit surprising.

      I can’t help but wonder if this might indicate that there’s something a bit unreasonable about our anti-terror laws

      What a glorious celebration of persecuting children for thought crime we’re all having.

      I’ll take this from another angle.

      Maybe the “terrorism laws” are so vaguely worded as to be a meaningful  *or* meaningless piss-take.

      Funny how we define terror arrests, picking and choosing, who did and didn’t commit them. Another I can easily prove this easily, so you can’t keep giving bans out, as I am stating facts and not my opinion.

      A massive difference between on how the news reports something and the reality of any given situation, which is owned by 3 super rich families, who benefit from the chaos in government contracts. which I can also prove in 250 words or less, as I’ve already successfully done it, only a few weeks ago.

      Other 4 out of 5 are pensioners in ‘Palestine Action’ tops
