Almost like with most social media it isn’t for kids ffs

I don’t get why banning social media for under 16s is such an issue.
There is no end of research and studies supporting how harmful it is for them. Ban it. And fine layabout parents who bypass it for their kids.

It’s weird that Ofcom has selected just these two platforms to criticise. Are they implying that Instagram, Snapchat and the rest ARE safe for kids.

No shit, Sherlock – it’s properly poisonous stuff on there- you put something normal on and soon enough the next thing is either political or just plain creepy

How are we not looking at what’s happening the the US and saying we shouldn’t allow billionaire to pump 24/7 propaganda poison into our minds?
Given what Fox News has done, why are GB News allowed to just have current sitting politicians lying constantly and pretending to be journalism?

Yeaaaah that’s right take away their YouTube and tik tok I’m sure there won’t be a knock on effect tied in to the fact that there’s naff all to do these days that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg where you wind up with a bunch of kids with nada better to do than crime. Sounds dramatic, but it would be just another thing that they cannot do.
Not to mention that yet again this has nothing to do with the children and everything to do with putting in measures to monitor our online activity
