There is growing speculation about the enforcement of Labour's social media ban for Under-16s involving restrictions or bans on VPNs. Make no mistake, if this is introduced, it will mean an end to online privacy, and the state will know exactly who is looking at what at all times if they so choose. The only other states with restrictions on VPNs are China, Russia, Iran, Oman, the UAE, Turkey and India. This is a dark direction of policy even for the Labour Party. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

🔸 Support for a social media ban plummets to just HALF if enforcing it requires uploading ID 🔸Support sinks below half if would require banning VPNs too, according to new data. The public has spoken - no to sweeping internet restrictions & intrusive ID checks to post online ”The mass collection of ID information and biometric data will not keep children safe, but instead creates an entirely new set of cybersecurity risks that threaten the rights and freedoms of children and adults alike… Rather than forcing British users to consistently put their sensitive personal data on the line, the Government should stand up to Big Tech directly, and tackle its harmful business practices at the source.” - Maya Thomas Read⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/07/0…
