It's not about banning children from using social media platforms. It's about an ID check for adults.

Media apps have responded to Keir Starmers social media ban: YouTube: “YouTube is a vital resource for young people, educators and parents. Blanket bans push kids out of such curated, supervised, beneficial experiences and towards anonymous, less safe services.” Meta: (Instagram, Facebook) “As we’ve seen in Australia, bans risk isolating teens from online communities and information, and driving them to unregulated alternatives that lack built-in protections and parental controls.” Snapchat: “Because the majority of time spent on Snapchat is in private messaging between friends and family, an outright ban that disconnects teens from those relationships doesn’t make them safer – it may simply push them to less safe platforms.” Elon Musk: (X) “This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.” He also said today that the UK is a police state.

This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.

Community notes FTW yet again.

Wth was her 6 year old doing on You Tube anyway?! SIX!!! If you can't control what your SIX (!!!!) year old is watching without government intervention you are simply a failed parent. SIX year-olds should have no access to the internet unaccompanied. Why wasn't she given a book, a toy or even a TV show - not You Tube!!

Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban. ‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’ ‘Keir Starmer’ ‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

Russia was behind arson attacks targeting UK PM Keir Starmer, BBC reveals bbc.in/3Q3lOy1

@david816483351 @BBCBreaking I bet you read the guardian too 😁

@BBCBreaking So the far right gibberish about rent boys is pure drivel Pretends to be shocked Russian poodles the lot of them

@SBlockspy @BBCBreaking Via grindr 😁not Russia

@BBCBreaking If a foreign network can recruit random ppl online to target a PM's proprty, thats a security issue way biggr than 1 arson case

@Gisele_ShoeSmug @BBCBreaking Keep lapping the BBC propaganda up 😉

@BBCBreaking How many of the Russian bots responsible are here commenting? I guess about half

The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban. "Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.

The Australian social media ban is seen as being unsuccessful. That Starmer thought we needed “Australia plus” is all you need to know about him

@Kittster2 @prestonjbyrne I will be verifying for my daughter 😁👍

@prestonjbyrne Why can't parents verify their child's age? Why should adults have to prove their age so someone else's child can go on social media?

You got a ban. A ban is a ban. What more do you want?

@GBNEWS Tories and Labour hate the kids finding out about the 3rd world invasion of 🇬🇧🙄

‘I am glad he is doing it, but he was forced into it!’ Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch MP explains why she is supportive of the government’s plan to ban social media for under-16’s.

@GBNEWS What a load of bollocks. Here comes the paid for government propaganda 🙄

Social media ban doesn't curb free speech but PM must act now to protect children from months of avoidable harm - Dr Helena Ivanov gbnews.com/opinion/social…

BBC News spreading misinformation live on air. The reporter asked the school children to raise their hands if they welcome the social media ban for under-16s. None of them do. The reporter then says it’s “most” of them that are disappointed. No all of them are.

By "coincidence" that Starmer is banning social media for u16s. The Ukrainian and Romanian "models" have been found guilty of setting fire to Starmer’s home and car. Why did they do it? How did they know where his properties were? What you been up to @Keir_Starmer?

Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky. Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky. This proves one thing. It's not about protecting children. It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.

@MumsnetTowers Labour propaganda machine 😂Yet kids will say no fuck the government 😁👍

Fantastic news that the government has listened to parents, to Mumsnet users and to other campaigners, and chosen to take meaningful action.

@InuffSinuff @KemiBadenoch People who object to the invasion 🙄

@KemiBadenoch Who will we be fighting? The enemy is already here.
