Social Media bann for kids under 16 in the UK

[Mortimer]

I think its bad kids are safer at home with social media then on the streets and they need from early on online skills how should they learn

They are doing this so that other things will be banned like VPN's, TOR, and VM's

They will never do it.

You really think so? What is your view on young children viewing online pornography? How about online social grooming and radicalisation (and I do not necessarily mean Islamist groups)? Do you think it reasonable that teens and younger children are viewing videos that show torture and cruelty?

How is all that making "kids safer at home with social media"?

The only ones who have the power to control all this are the tech giants that run social media platforms and they will not do so because it brings them a lot of revenue.

The government will try, and for the majority of people who are unwilling to become tech-savvy, this will work.
Yes. Tech will refuse for the most part, as it would/will cut into their profit.

Of course not being tech-savvy rarely applies to teens and younger children!

Yes. Tech will refuse for the most part, as it would/will cut into their profit.

Of course, despite the vaunted claims as per Silicon Valley of a supposed desire to "make the world a better place"!

Your liberty to source any or all of the above examples I listed might also be deemed a risk to you developing anti-social and/or unhealthy attitudes.

I watch Pornhub but nothing extreme like pedophilia or bestiality

Fair enough.

You lost this one as well -- because you most certainly are immature and childish .
Your wretched Topic is itself childish in the extreme .

Because you have no idea why the ban is going to become law and are unaware the deeply considered reports that have led to this present position .

This is one of the extremely few times I think banning something is the right thing to do.

I don't know if any of you have read the research on social media, but every single report I've read shows that social media is terrible for kids. It's either a little terrible, or it's super terrible.

There is no good aspect to this. There is no positive outcome from letting your kids on social media.

So I support a full ban on social media for kids.
