      >Speaking to The Sunday Mirror, she said: “I’m going to announce on Monday that we will take a power in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that will allow us to implement the result of our consultation. We will take a power in the bill so that we can, once we’ve got the results of this consultation, act immediately on whichever option we go for, whether that is a ban on all social media for the under 16s or a whole range of other things like curfews overnight, emergency brakes to stop you from doom scrolling, action on VPNs to stop you getting around things.”

      With all these different countries implementing or trying to implement similar authoritarian internet controls doesn’t it make you ask who is directing them to do this? There is all this talk about foreign funding of political parties, billionaires interfering with in politics etc but here is very clear collusion on a global scale with very scary authoritarianism being implemented and no one seems to care at all.

      If this really goes ahead, reddit will likely get ID locked, which i won’t be doing

      Classic black and white thinking from the current labour government. Yes there are issues with children using social media, but there are also benefits. Why not look at solutions the mitigate the downsides rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

      Gutting youth clubs, and third places and perennially threatening to remove benefits for poorest, and saying children need their childhood back.

      We live in a clown world

      If you don’t give an alternate thing for children to do instead all you’re doing is making it so they are further isolated

      So what will there be for them when the internets gone/

      Parental controls exist. Why we are not educating and providing support to parents to help set these controls would likely be cheaper and fulfill the objective of this. Why create a new law that just gives the next bad government more power to abuse down the line?

      It needs to happen. Ultimately, social media is poison and with the dramatic increase in what AI can achieve it will destroy Western society.

      And people on here wonder why this parliament is a complete joke.

      Complete basket case messaging. 

      “We want you to vote and pay taxes but you’re still a child and we don’t want you to have adult responsibilities and we need to stop you going on the Internet and protect you from every little thing….oh but you can still join the army and you can consent”.

      Old enough to pay tax, old enough to vote, old enough to serve in the military and old enough to consent means adult. 

      So everything that comes with that should be open to them. 

      They’re minors or they’re not, you cannot have it both ways.

      Edit: for those about to misunderstand.  U16 also covers those that are 16, which is why it’s such a basketcase policy idea.

      For the rest, there are parental controls, they exist and parents need to start using them instead of this lazy “let the government do it for me” parenting we are seeing today. 

      My nephews don’t go on social media because their parents aren’t fucking lazy and have properly parental controlled accounts and monitoring for their devices.

      This law is not about ‘saving children’, it’s about forcing everyone (including you and me) to show their ID and prove their age to access the internet.

      Meanwhile kids will just use VPNs and other means to bypass age verification, just like they’re doing in Australia.

      The end result will be 1) no kids protected 2) everyone’s ID and faces stored on dodgy US-based age verification systems with zero GDPR protection.

      This is a stupid law.

      Just a reminder that the NSPCC and 30+ other child welfare organisations are AGAINST this law as it will actually put kids in more danger than they are now.

      The House of Lords and the government are ignoring the warnings of child welfare experts.
