Today, vote hope.

[James Clark 📈📉¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @mr_james_c]

A reminder that most kids think of Youtube as "television".

[Nat ✨ FREE 🇵🇸 @loopzoooop]

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt

[Undead Never Dies V. IV 〓〓 @UndeadCantDie]

"Stare at a wall" is so apt bc there is literally nothing for kids to do here anymore. Parks are for young children, so teens get chased out, everything is super expensive so you can't go on a day out, and there's precious little nature left to explore.

Thats all you can do.

Leading social media companies have cast doubt on the effectiveness of Sir Keir Starmer’s social media ban for under-16s https://t.co/DOaNekPK4J

🆔A social media ban means that all of us face digital ID checks to get online

It will "force the public to trust their IDs to companies with serious track records of leaks and hacks" - @JCoulson1013

Including YouTube in the list of banned 'social media' websites is going to be the governments biggest single own goal.

More people watch YouTube than the BBC.

[Jonathon Kitson @KitsonJ1]

Under these proposals at 17 you’ll be able to vote, join the army and drive a car but not allowed to watch premier league highlights on YouTube on a Saturday night. What an absurd idea.

[Marcus Walker @WalkerMarcus]

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

[Katie Tarrant @KatieTarrant_]

How can the ban be enforced?

Three months into Australia’s ban, the majority of 12-15 yr olds could still access thanks to VPNs and fake details

I talked to kids, parents and Aus gov about the impact of their ban in Jan👇

I cannot begin to tell you how unpopular this is going to be for Newport residents

[Mike Griffiths @mrmikegriffiths]

"We've got a lot of work to do on the M4, which will involve some junctions closing."

New Dep Minister for Transport Mark Hooper says accelerating public transport schemes and "targeted measures" on the road network will help tackle M4 congestion at Newport's Brynglas Tunnels

"We cannot seriously argue that 16-year-olds are mature enough to participate in democracy while simultaneously insisting they must be locked out of the spaces where much of democratic life now occurs."

Our founder @cgdav135 has written for @mainstreamlbr on why the government's looming social media ban is a fundamental betrayal of progressive values.
