Sir Keir Starmer will today say he is stepping up Government action to protect children online amid growing pressure for him to ban under-16s from social media. The Prime Minister will vow that no social media or internet platform will get a 'free pass' when it comes to children's safety.
Even though the Pakistani rape gangs all did?
Ministers will also look at ways to prevent children using VPNs - which can bypass age verification systems - to access pornography. And they will consider measures to preserve phone data in tragic cases where online activity is suspected of being involved in a child's death.
They haven’t a clue, have they? If an adult gives a child in their house permission to use a VPN, what can the government do about it? Why do they even consider it their business? Especially considering they mandate VPNs for the public sector when WFH...
The PM said last night: 'As a dad of two teenagers, I know the challenges and the worries that parents face making sure their kids are safe online.
'Technology is moving really fast, and the law has got to keep up. With my government, Britain will be a leader not a follower when it comes to online safety.
Which is why you immediately jumped on Australia's social media ban for under 16's without even waiting a few months to see how (or if) it worked?
'We are acting to protect children's wellbeing and help parents to navigate the minefield of social media.'
IF you genuinely cared about children’s welfare, would you have locked them up for a year under Covid and imported infinity Third World migrants to compete with them for scant (and ever dwindling) social resources?
Keep the children away from distressing facts until they are able to vote at 16?
ReplyDeleteWe don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
Except ignorance is no defence against manipulation.
Start from everything the government touches it fucks up.
ReplyDeleteThen say to yourself if a parent is going to let them use a VPN isn't that same parent going to let them browse the we under their id.
At the very least most teenagers will be able to use their parents id to get online.
Then the best bit. We keep kids off the we and then when they hit their 16th birthday they will have no knowledge of politics or life yet be expected to know enough to vote. Of course they can get their political views from the BBC so no bias there. They really are scumbags.
