      Another pointless law where enforcement is near impossible

      He’s really speedrunning how to lose the next election isn’t he

      Would be a good first step to check the harm done by social media.

      > The UK Government is now said to be considering copying the move in a bid to protect schoolchildren from the dangers of the internet.

      Let’s not call them “schoolchildren”. The overall onus isn’t on schools to protect them; ultimately it’s on their parents.

      The only thing that can protect children from the dangers of the internet is their parents. Education, parental controls, vigilance, monitoring, and education.

      I say that as a parent, who has a 10-year-old accessing the internet, and a 7-year-old about to be doing so in coming years.

      Governments need to stop taking on parental responsibility, and need to start recognising that parental failures are due to the parents. The dangers are known, and for the parents that don’t know how to protect against them, the resources to learn how are readily available for free.

      How does it work in Australia?

      A chunk of Reddit is already blocked for me, would this mean the rest would be blocked unless I upload proof of age? Which I’m not going to do.

      Great stuff, wish we had this sooner before the doom scrolling addictions and garbage entertainment news took its hold on people.

      Better late than never. Kudos to australia for going first.

      I know people will say “but free speech” and he’s taking away rights…..

      But as someone who used to be a massive tech enthusiast…. Social media is a cancer to our children.

      What is it with UK governments and the desperation to ban things?

      The Tories were the same.

      What can they do to combat the masses of damage social media is doing to the gullible of the boomer generation?

      I don’t get why people think this would be a bad political decision. Under 16s can’t vote, and I don’t think there’s a parent alive who thinks social media is good for their kids. This is a massive vote winner in middle England.

      Mate you just pushed millions of people towards learning how VPNs work, do you really think the most technically savvy generation won’t work it out in 2 minutes?

      Digital ID is needed BEFORE Tokenization replaces physical money and assets are consumed into a central bank ledger, This is the real pay off these are simply early forerunners to this implementation of the new money and financial future in order to set it up for a great replacement which will likely trigger upon a financial collapse process.

      Please please do this. It is the biggest source of unwanted propaganda and overall offers nothing other than overall harm

      Looks like negotiations are getting tough with the Americans.

    15. Jackie__Moon__ on

      They mean banning everyone from social media until they upload ID/photo.

    16. real_priception on

      They should just hand the government over to Reform at this point.

      This is possibly a double edged sword, ever since the advent of text messaging on flippy phones, teenagers have been communicating voraciously via phones. There is every chance they will find a way around this ban and that every online gaming platform will give them a back door into social media communications. On the other hand it’s probably very true that social media is potentially dangerous for teenagers who are incredibly emotionally vulnerable at this stage of their lives. It’s a very hard problem to resolve. It may be that regulating the more platforms could be more effect but who really knows.

      This is a speculative non-story; it just suggests they haven’t explicitly said they won’t do it.

      Nowhere in the article is Starmer quoted as saying anything, so why is he in the headline?

      The culture secretary was asked about it on Nick Ferrari and all she said was ‘they’ll keep an eye on it’.

      She later said this,
      ‘”They were really concerned that if you introduced a blanket ban, not only would it be very difficult to make that work, it might push young people into other parts of the Internet that are unregulated.”

      And a government spokesperson said this,

      ‘”For that reason, there are no current plans to introduce a blanket ban on smartphones or social media for children.”

      Click bait nonsense. Do better people.

      I hope they don’t do that because its a really stupid, authoritarian idea. I hate how the response to social problems in this country is just to “ban something”.

    21. All-Day-stoner on

      This is an excellent idea. Absolutely no complaints with regard to this.

      What the absolute F are they doing? We’re facing a real crisis with right wing populism on the rise and they are doing this? They are already very unpopular but they don’t appear to be doing anything to fix that. Quite the opposite. It’s almost like a planned demise.
