I'm sure the left will enforce the bans without bias.


And if you dare notice, YOU are the "fascist" that is in a cult.

See how this works?

I’ve checked the numbers. By comparison, the traffic is minuscule.


I guess you are that naive.

So what's the threshold for the ban? User counts? Content?

Authoritarians love people like you.

this ban doesn't apply to adults and all you'll have to do is prove you're of age with your digital ID in order to use social media.

I actually love it on paper. Not sure of the practicality of it, but I think it’s a good effort

Limiting access to a site is easy. Granting access is the hard part. What information will adults have to provide to prove they are over 16?

Am I supposed to believe this is about protecting kids, rather than the UK setting up a nationwide system to identify and track adults and their online traffic patterns?

It’s Chinese spyware. Wake up and smell the coffee

Cyberwarfare perpetrated using the algorithms is not a freedom of speech issue

It’s an age restriction, not a ban.

We have plenty of age restrictions in the that are based on common sense and for protecting children.

It's just like Obama's crew listening in on the Trump transition team's conversations with foreign diplomats. They did it under the guise of keeping tabs on the foreigners. It was totally collateral damage that they just happened to be in conversations with American citizens who were illegally unmasked in internal communications in violation of federal surveillance laws.

Honest Injun.

Not exactly true.

They made a glaring exception for BlueSky. Think about that.

Just saw an accurate, but really sobering post:

The same guy that purposely covered up rape gangs against British children is now passing fascist measures to help "save their future".

These people are sick and evil.

Then why not just ban bluesky? Or “age restrict it?

You don’t seem interested in doing that for some reason. Because it has low numbers? Who cares. If the other shite is dangerous for kids, why not this? You can’t say it.

Let's rephrase this

UK Bans X for those under 16. They can still be on Bluesky and TikTok

Why is BlueSky and TickToc safe for kids but X isn’t?

It’s because those are left leaning platforms.

That requires uploading a government ID to access now in the UK.

You don't see the problem there?

You're talking to another one of these people that is not above acting like they are legitimately retarded on the internet in order to score points for the left. Except, they don't ever actually score any points. So their pretending to be retarded actually turns into legitimate retardation.

Why are y'all hating on Bluesky? Pedophiles still need access to kids, you bigots.
