      Wow this government sure is treading lighter on our lives like we were told it would.

      **From the Article:**

      MPs have rejected a Lords amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would allow a social media ban for under 16s. Instead, they have voted to give ministers much broader powers which could be used to restrict Internet access to under 18s.

      **My thoughts and opinions:**

      We are in a war with our government believing they know what is best for us, and I believe now is the time for us to act. If this matters to you and you want to stop this, there are several things you can do now.

      Firstly, take part in the public consultation and let them know our privacy is not for sale and it is not a right we are willing to give up. I’ve linked it here; you do not need to be a British citizen to take part in this consultation: [https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation)

      Secondly, start emailing, writing, and calling your MPs. **Do not harass them**; make it clear you oppose these measures that are clear attacks on privacy. I’ve linked the website to find your MPs and their contact information: [https://members.parliament.uk/](https://members.parliament.uk/) – only do this if you are a UK citizen and please be as respectful as possible.

      Finally, keep talking about it. Get family and friends involved, sign the petition: [https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/747448](https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/747448) (though I know how ineffective these have been in the past), and do not let it fade out of the public spotlight.

      **To repeat myself from yesterday:**

      >This is a fight worth winning, but even if we lose, I will not fall to my knees without trying everything we can, and neither should you.

      It’s genuinely astonishing that the people running our country still don’t understand the Internet.

      It was only a few months ago that they published a list of porn sites still available.

      Powers to stop under 18s playing games…have they been bestowed magic powers? How on earth would you enforce “no Minecraft after 9pm” for under 18s?
