''oh the kids will be outside more! they'll go outside!!' babes a teenage girl was stabbed in the throat walking home not even a week ago. theres a rape in the headlines every other day. it is literally NOT SAFE out there!!! are you mental!!
“The Royal Society for Blind Children said that social media is a ‘lifeline’ for blind and partially-sighted young people.
..we are mindful that this ban risks cutting off vital routes to connection for children who are already too often excluded.’ https://t.co/6akCZ59xaZ
I won't mince words the uk social media ban is gonna cause child suicide rates to go up
that happens when you cut off abused/ostracised teenagers from their only safe space
there's nowhere else for them to go, there's barely any child friendly spaces anymore: both irl and online
"Stare at a wall" is, unfortunately, likely to prove accurate because you just know they're not going to invest in creating more third spaces where children can actually go when they're not online.
Radio 4 coverage of the social media ban and phone scanning is an utter disgrace. Complete lack of coverage of the civil rights consequences of these plans and campaigners spouting utter bs as if it's scientific fact with zero pushback. They are manufacturing consent hard
When I was too ill to go to school my council left me without education for 18 months. If it hadn’t been able to access educational content on YouTube like Mr Bruff and Free Science Lessons, I would never have passed my GCSEs.
This is going to harm disabled children.
the labour party effectively ending online anonymity just before they hand over everything on a silver platter to reform continues the long tradition of liberals working in lockstep with fascists.
Studies in AUS found that since the social media ban went into effect teenagers are significantly less educated on news and events and more ignorant on what’s going on in the world. This is the goal. Western govts saw the rise of the information age and are seeking to quash it
Banning YouTube for teenagers is obviously nuts. Clearly no one is using TikTok for educational purposes but YouTube is for everything! Why the hell would you try to stop 14 year olds accessing guitar tutorials? History documentaries? News clips?
“Giving children their childhood back?”
So reopening the 2,000 youth clubs closed under neoliberalism? The 1,000 children’s centres?
Recreating the 10,000 + playing fields lost?
Or the 800 playgrounds lost in the last 10 years?
The 1,000 libraries?
The after-school clubs closed?
AI for the poor, actual human teachers for the rich. This is a class issue and we need to recognise it as such, in order to fight this effectively in schools.
The rich wouldn’t accept this for their own kids!
Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
This is exactly why billionaires can’t exist. This man is burning the entire world down because he cannot accept his daughter for who she is. And he has the money to actually do it. No one can have that power.
