UK PM Starmer announces ban on social media for under-16s
[IsraelTimes] British premier says he’s ‘not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children’; kids will be barred from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, X, but not WhatsApp, Signal.
He has no problem with the Moslem colonists grooming white girls for two generations now, in fact he is keen to leverage the power of the state to shut up any of their friends and relations who dare to timidly suggest that the girls are not eager for the treatment. This protecting kids from the eeeevils of the internet is not going to fool anyone except Guardian readers, and they’ll believe anything anyway.

2 But heck, give elementary school kids books on gay and deviant sex. This shows its all about controlling the flow of information and not about protecting kids.

3 Social media exposure can be damaging to kids. It’s a high priority. Getting gang raped by 20 Pakistanis could also be damaging, but it’s less of a priority for Starmer.

4 Sure. Let the government raise your kids and take over all the parental responsibilities. What harm could that have?

5 Argue about the merits and retardations concerning youth and exposure to the internet, the motivation here is control of information.

6 Repeating roughly what was said somewhere else: proving to the government you are old enough to use social media puts you on a registry for the government to refer to when somebody says bad things about the government. I believe Musk has already said he won't comply.
