@charlotteukcity@PolitlcsUK@LilaLil43738372 People need to stop believing the rage hype, and start taking note of what is being done to correct everything. Positive moves by Keir.
@LibDems Age rating systems exist now and children under 13 still access social media so that won’t work. The responsibility is with all - tech firms, children and parents.
A ban will not harm children. You need to add the exploitation of children on social media to the list too.
@Nocapitulating@Nigel_Farage When the governments start working for the people and stop acting like children, paying mates rates, wasting our hard earned money as tax payers, fiddling and corrupting figures and start acting like grown adults who work for us - only then will it improve. Until then, unlikely.
@elonmusk Man who stirs the pot because he has the biggest reach while claiming to want to save humanity.
Where are the pedophiles in your country Elon?
@elonmusk Take your right winged bullshit statements somewhere else. You are a disgrace.
A man who could use his money for the good of humanity, instead buys a social media platform to spread purposeful misinformation and allow the spread of right wing propaganda to millions of people.
