The most horrendous, harmful stuff I've seen on social media this year has been the countless atrocities carried out by Israel and supported by its Western allies, like us. I would have opted for more pressure to end that, instead of just banning the ability for kids to become aware of the horror.

Regulate their platforms....
Education, mental health support, and real-life action through schools and communities could help mitigate that risk.
Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏💚

Messaging and gaming hasn’t been banned so bullying and grooming will still be free to thrive.
People who don’t have a basic understanding of social media including messaging and gaming should be barred from commenting about it.
We were also the ‘the first’ to implement ‘tow-backs’ of refugees, a precedent now used in the Med, to justify the avoidance of legal obligations.
The ‘first’ can mean the ‘worst’.

Imagine if there was some way that you could log onto social media & pretend to be in another country - that would be a real problem.
Also, this won’t stop them. It really won’t.
Also, this is being pushed HARD- by Murdoch. One has to ask why?
They have zero interest in people’s well being. Specially Kids’.
Expect some NewsCorpse media site “Just for the under16s”
Adults.
The legislation should be to moderate content, not force kids underground.
I mean alcohol prohibition worked wonders didn't it.
Can't have the kiddies / young adults witnessing the slaughter of children in Gaza when we are saying it is self defence.
Can't have them seeing young ppl mobilising by way of protest against climate change. We just told them we are ahead of our reduction targets.
Make it harder for the techbros to get at children and pressure our Governments to be more explicit with its condemnation of Israel
