This is the kind of ideological waffle too often passed off as serious policy in SNP-run Scotland.
Opposing protection for children from addictive, harmful platforms because it may โinfringe their rightsโ is absurd.
Children need boundaries, safeguarding and adults prepared to say no.

Commissioner 'disappointed' by social media ban for children bbc.in/4vdY9dq

@CElder556 @dr_musgrave UK is lacking alot of critical thinking here and youd think that someone working in the NHS would have that but nope! cant even understand the implications of this. my nieces and nephew show more critical thinking than her and they are between the ages of 8 and 15.
English
@dr_musgrave Typical communist deliberate misunderstanding of things.
Just because we don't want the government making the decusion for parents doesn't mean we also want our kids to have unfettered access to social media.
English
It baffles me that so many people appear invested in keeping children ON devices, and using social media.
Why? Genuinely. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Do we really think the benefits outweigh the harms?

@Keir_Starmer We know what you're doing. You're using "child safety" as a Trojan horse for device-level digital ID infrastructure.
x.com/wideawake_mediโฆ
Wide Awake Media@wideawake_media
"Online safety" laws and age verification mandates have absolutely NOTHING to do with protecting children. You cannot stop under-16s from accessing a website without checking the age of everyone who visits it. And you cannot check everyone's age without forcing them to prove who they are. "Child safety" is the cheese in the mousetrap. Laws sold under the banner of "child protection" constitute a Trojan horse for a system requiring every adult to verify their identity before they can speak, read, or post online. The child is merely an emotional shield. The adult is the real target. And once that infrastructure exists, the pretext can be swapped out at will. Today it is pornography, social media and "harmful content". Tomorrow it is messaging apps and online banking. Soon after it is your ability to access the internet at allโeach incremental step gated behind a digital ID you are required to keep in good standing. It's no accident that the exact same "online safety" agenda is being rolled out across the entire Western world simultaneously, with each national government reaching for a slightly different pretext to justify the same outcomeโa verified digital identity standing between you and the open internet. Different countries. Different pretexts. Same infrastructure. They are not building a system to keep children safe. They are building the identity layer for a permission-based internetโorchestrated from the supranational level by people you never electedโwhere access to information itself becomes conditional on obedience. The point is not to make the internet safer. The point is to make anonymous access impossible. Because a person who can read, speak, organise and dissent anonymously is difficult to control. A person whose most intimate online activity is anchored to a state-monitored digital ID is not. Once every account, search, post, payment, message and website visit is tied to a verified identity, the internet stops being a public square and becomes a monitored enclosure. But the gate only closes if people accept "online safety" laws at face value.

A Restore Britain Government will repeal Starmer's social media ban and let parents parent.
English
@Karl939 @CouchNish your just enabling government overreach. especially when its been heavily said at all times that the UK's OSA is a vague dark grey hole meaning the government can introduce any policy they want for censorship and put it under OSA bypass legal challenge
English
@Karl939 @CouchNish *Knock Knock* if it wasnt increasingly obvious. you can just... oh take their tech away and let them be "kids". yet here you are advocating for this and yet your kids will probably still be on their phones. policing places kids and teens go to isnt fixing the root problem.
English
For anyone wondering, itโs only been a positive thing in Aus. No one even talks about it anymore which can only mean the kids donโt care.
The ones desperate for it will find workarounds, but the majority have found better things to do with their spare time.

English
@Macho_Grande1 you sound like a cuck NGL. a retarded one at that but a cuck none the less with zero parental power over their kids!
English
For the idiots in my mentions. We use all the parental controls available to us and also subscribe to the Qustodio app to monitor, restrict and limit how our kids use social media.
Itโs still not bulletproof so any additional support to PROTECT children is welcome.
English
If tech companies are not prepared to police their platforms properly then someone has to do it for them.
Iโve got 2 young children, I overwhelmingly support this.

@TheHauskarl @Polymarket to be adopted by the masses. a small niche group of individuals will probably migrate over to it but the masses wont. graphene is meant for tech focused and privacy related people like us. my family members and grandparents etc etc wont touch such a thing.
English
@TheHauskarl @Polymarket i never said anything about graphene. graphene is still a niche thing. and thats for a reason. it also doesnt integrate google services on the phone. youre also not able to do banking while on the phone. certain apps straight up wont allow you to run it. its not in a situation >

@johnmic07691566 @HideoFraudjima @Fixlation7 @RupertLowe10 you seriously comparing a commodity to freedom of access & speech on the internet. you sound like a bot - and for all the tards that cant understand why. smoking in the UK is so low in demand now while vaping has taken over. cigs on their way out is because of low popularity
English
@DiBBz_On_Dat @HideoFraudjima @Fixlation7 @RupertLowe10 Starmer banned adults from buying cigarettes. Not even North Korea does that. Yet no one really rose up against it - just the occasional barking on social media.
English
Banning teenagers from social media with ludicrous conditions is unworkable, unrealistic and unwanted.
Hereโs a mad idea - let parents parent.
Not the state, but mums, dads, grandparents or whoever else.
Restore Britain will always trust the family over big government.
English
@shangoman @TimSweeneyEpic you seriously asking why MP's dont listen meanwhile there is a petition site that gets millions of signatures on issues and its still denied. most MP's dont even listen to their constituents after being put in. if youre a parent and still agreeing to this. then youre the problem!
English
Iโm a parent too, and Iโm absolutely not fine with it.
There has been resistance, sure, but nowhere near enough. Where is the serious pushback from MPs? If MPs are not visibly worried about backing this, that suggests their constituents are not making enough noise.
Parents need to write to their MPs in serious numbers and make it politically risky to support this kind of move. Right now it barely touches the headlines, which tells me there simply isnโt enough public pressure yet.
English
I support new legislation to ban banning things.

Call their bluff.
Close all local UK operations, so that no employees or corporate officers can be arrested.
Refuse to comply, and dare them to geoblock. Without Google and Apple, the UK economy would probably collapse. It isn't so much that those services are crucial (although they are), it's that Britain is already on the fiscal brink and all it would really take is a little push.
I'm sure blocking the Internet would go over really well with the British people, too.

@gogzkerr @Colinlawson86 ulterior motives being they dont want teens having a greater pool of knowledge to gain insight on. so are forced into watching state media. who are notoriously biased left currently. if they wanted to protect kids roblox would be banned in uk. website blocked and apps removed
English
@Colinlawson86 I am against it because its blatant overreach.
Its a parents responsibility to parent our children, not the government.
Thats before I even get into the ulterior motives
English
@Colinlawson86 @gogzkerr any kids from the 90's and early 2000's were taught. never share your info on the internet. and here you are with 2 brain cells and cant differentiate a fake profile from a real one.
my nieces and nephews all got taught the same thing. parents parenting imagine that.

English
@gogzkerr Mate ive said for ages the way forward should be if you want to make a social media profile you should be made to use ID with name and address on it.
The amount of fake profiles on these sites is jailbate mate they could be doing anything and no one has a clue who they are.

@HideoFraudjima @Fixlation7 @RupertLowe10 agree with this. no fucking spine. from a country that advocates that they love to fucking complain. yet no action!

@Fixlation7 @RupertLowe10 Unfortunately this won't happen in Britain, we're all bark, no bite.
Shambles of a country...

@RupertLowe10 they said 90% of their sample sized agree'd to this.. and who exactly is this 90% hmmm.. fucking immigrants and some indoctrinated cunts!

@JohnofAlbion @LOVillaJavea i think the more likely hood is that everyone starts swapping to @GrapheneOS most millennials who were vigorously taught by their parents growing up never to share personal information will probably be more inclined to swap!

@LOVillaJavea Will this not just create a huge market for fake id?

So how is Starmerโs social media ban going to be implemented and policed?

iAmDiBBz ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ ๐ช๐บ ๋ฆฌํธ์ํจ
Insane. YouTube is crammed with vital educational resources.
That are free. This implementation disproportionately impacts disadvantaged kids.
Heaven forbid parents take responsibility for their kids social media use. Grim.

@Mc_Lote @BBCPolitics @bbclaurak you act like most of us didnt at all see that shit when we where young in the 90's and early 2000's are you stupid. liveleak was a popular thing among many teens. government should still not control this aspect. this is parent matter. any parent that advocates for this is a pussy
English
@BBCPolitics @bbclaurak Children are seeing things online that are real things that are actually happening. Very very few are seeing live beheadings. It is anecdotal that children are seeing them. Children do know that people die and that agencies including the state have indulged in torture.
