The effort to ban social media for kids in the UK is just part of a larger censorship plan

This is not a coincidence, it’s a well coordinated plan to control what people can see online.
This is how it starts, it’s always under the guise of “keeping children safe”
If they are willing to ban entire age groups from accessing apps & websites, they are willing to ban everyone else from them when they see fit.
Inch by inch, day by day they have inserted their tentacles into every aspect of our lives.
“Most parents agree” “Canadians want” “Canadians have been asking”
The lines of snakes pushing through their agenda.

No, Trump is a fascist. You have this all wrong. Look his way and not this way. There's a genocide in the US as we speak.

silly conspiracy theory when the govts of California, Texas, Louisana and Florida are suing social media companies.

this will lead to the same under 16, under 18 ban here under the same justification

No. Get kids the frick off social media.

We don’t let pharmaceutical companies test drugs on kids without extreme safeguards in place… because duh. We likewise shouldn’t be allowing the most powerful psychological manipulation tools ever created to be unleashed unchecked on them either. We’re functionally running a civilization-wide psychological experiment on every developing brain in the country with no safeguards in place. It needs to stop.

The only people against this are people who don’t have kids.

Make sure the kids are good and brainwashed / never exposed to "other" ideas. Then, once they are adults - they will reject authentic information because it clashes with everything they've known all their life.

Im against it and I have kids. Its not the government's right to raise children. Any power you give the government will eventually be used against the people.

It is a large censorship plan and it's obvious. The UK doesn't even try to hide it. I saw a video on X of their police arresting a guy for simply having the British flag draped around his shoulders.
There is no way things end well there. The British folks frustration is increasing.
The protest will continue to escalate.

Soon the streets will be British folks fighting brown skin folks in the streets.
No guns over there, maybe the British will return to days of old and break out swords and wear armor!

I get where you guys are coming from but the age limit for most of these is 13. Age limits already exist.

Have you ever complained about that?

quote:

The minimum age to create and use a TikTok account is 13 years old. However, the platform features tiered restrictions and experiences based on user age.


quote:

Ages 13 to 15: Accounts are automatically set to private by default. Other users cannot download and save videos posted by this age group, and direct messaging is restricted.


quote:

Ages 16 and older: Users gain access to standard features such as direct messaging, Duet, and Stitch, though accounts can still be made private manually.



quote:

Ages 18 and older: Only users 18 and older can go LIVE, send or receive virtual gifts, and participate in monetization programs.

Stop buying your kids phones, problem solved. But your anxiety ridden wives demand it. They created the problem.

Social media is already censored by algorithms designed to make money for advertisers. Social media is a commodity. It’s also toxic and I can’t wait for my kids to get older and think social media is only for old people.

So what? There has always been a price to pay for "free" stuff, and everyone has gladly traded privacy, anonymity, and everything else for it.

You shouldn't have gotten them phones, or given permission for them to sign up for such sites. You had control, and you gave it away for convenience, to stop the whining, etc.

This is the only social media I am on. Yes, Ms Cubbs, forums are still social media. It has just the right amounts of toxicity to keep me grounded so that I may live my real life toxin free!

Say the line. Say social media is racist for promoting bad behavior on certain segments of our youth. Say how social media racially profiles minority groups and filters them to more violent and illegal material knowing it will influence more to a life of crime so the racist for profit prisons can make more money and the rich corporations like Walmart can enrich themselves off of the welfare dollars of the single mothers such illegal and violent actions thrust upon our youth by the racist social media companies.

We need the government to protect our young from the racist and evil white supremacist social media companies.
