How about trying to hold social media companies accountable? crazy I know.
Oh well, more toxic teens and disruptive behaviour coming our way for Schools and Public. Watch teacher numbers leave by the shed loads.
Its not ‚deeply disappointing‘ its the rejection of a yet further enhanced nanny state. Its good
Because we don’t need a social media ban.
Listen to Molly?s dad! We need social media content being fixed NOT bans.
Look at the old fogies who are out there sharing AI videos, believing outrageous propaganda, all of this stuff affects adults and people over 16 years old. Banning the kids doesn’t actually do anything
Good, I hate nanny state policies like this. It’s the parents responsibility.
People are right that fixing Social Media should be the priority but that’s not going to happen any time soon is it?
It deffo should be banned for under 16s. If they manage to get it to an acceptable state in the mean time it can be reviewed once the companies have fixed it.
Big tech won’t listen and MP’s are too toothless to put in place something that isn’t helpful to anyone.
This isn’t about free speech or censorship. This is like giving meth to kids. They don’t need it. It’s not adding anything to their life whatsoever.
It’s a strange state of affairs when adults need to verify their ID on social media to “protect the children” but banning social media for children is rejected. It’s almost as if none of it is about protecting children.
I’m deeply disappointed we’re not interested in encouraging and enabling parents to parent.
I’m also deeply disappointed that the government wants to extend voting to 16 year olds whilst also wanting to limit 16 year olds‘ experience and information upon which to base their vote.
terrible day for people who wish they didn’t have to stumble across a 14 year olds opinion 💔
Enough of the nanny state shit. The future is digital. Banning kids from social media and expecting them to play outside with their bikes like “the good old days” isn’t fucking happening! Times move on. We educate kids on social media like we do with other subjects at school and that’s that. They’re not all stupid. My 10 year old is smart enough to know there is bad shit out there and she just ignores it. While the missus and I keep an open dialogue with her about it!
Where do you think all this fucked up behaviour like mobbing high streets comes from.
You can’t blame parents – who need to give their kid a phone to reach them – for the kid followingthe herd onto all corners of tiktok, insta, Snapchat etc
_Obviously_ you’re not seriously suggesting give your kid a dumb phone. Cause that means getting bullied.
I’m massively in favour. Social media is a cancer in our society, nothing good has come out.
Try doing things that don’t involve banning things. Wasting more resources to enforce something that is near impossible to actually enforce.
Let’s start holding the account holder legally responsible.
„Just ban it“ is almost always bad policy. It creates an industry in avoidance. You need a policy that supports as well as limits, so people won’t immediatelly start to resist it.
Deeply disappointing for who? This one of the few bits of relieving news I’ve read in a while. It’s a nice reprieve from the surveillance and censorship onslaught we’ve been getting.
Instead of making stupid laws that will barely make any difference to the kids but will fuck over every adult why dont they educate parents on how to lock down a phone so kids have a safe time
Banning things in most cases doesn’t work, hold the companies accountable. In Australia over 60% are still using it despite the ban anyway, a ban is not going to do very much.
For everyone saying either a) get the parents to take responsobility, or b) hold the social media companies to account.
If you were Keir Starmer – how exactly would you go about doing that?
what happened to the „protecting children“ horse shit ?
Stop trying to police absolutely everything everyone does.
The online safety act is enough of a piss take.
If they really cared, they could simply make phones only accessible for 18+ and phone plans for 18+ as well, like tobacco and alcohol. No privacy to give up and you get kids off social media in mass.
But then they couldn’t harvest data and spy on children if they did.
It’s not the kids I’m worried about, it’s all the gullible voting age people who eat up social media propaganda. Can we just ban all social media so we’re not slaves to our phones?
Tbh I am pretty anti nanny state but more and more recently I have been feeling like social media needs more regulation, there is too much bullshit around and algorithms need reining in. This policy just feels like a lazy copout though as always, kids will find ways to bypass it or companies will just not give a shit about the regulation and kids will find new sites to use as social media, that might be worse than „mainstream“ sites.
At the very least I’d like to see evidence from countries that have already implemented this (Australia in particular) that there are significant benefits to the policy.
