😂 The UK social media ban will be "enforced at the device level".
Everybody will have to upload their passport and face to Google/Apple to be able to use their own phone's internet connection!
Will this also apply for tourists visiting the UK? What a dystopian madness.
This is possibly the worst crime in modern history.
Two men "adopted" a baby.
"A post mortem examination identified more than 30 external bruises, as well as internal bruising to his mouth and throat, internal bruising to his anus, bowel and bladder, lacerations to his anorectum, and a perforated bowel."
"One medical expert gave evidence that a bruise on the baby’s bottom appeared to be a human bite mark."
Think what this poor baby went through. The men who did this should be put to death.
Men should not be able to buy babies. I know that this will cause some anguish to good men who have good intentions, but it's necessary to prevent this happening. This cannot happen again.
One of these people is an 83 year old Priest who held up a sign expressing her right to free speech. The other has decapitated his political enemies with a knife.
Guess which the UK government calls a terrorist, and which gets invited to number 10 for dinner.
Oh no no no. We are not retconing this.
20+ years ago, Feminists demanded genres that men enjoy be made "welcoming" for women, publishers did just that. Then men stopped reading the genres that were now made with women in mind.
What is this reversal of cause and effect?
“What’s my approval rating?”
- It’s bad Mr Prime Minister. It’s -43. It’s…it’s in the mud.
“Could it get lower?”
- I mean anything COULD happen but realistically-
“Kill the ponies.”
- Wha-
“The ponies. The cute little ponies. Kill them.”
- Sir, they’re endangered
“Fuck ‘em. Make the call.”
“As a mum it keeps me up at night thinking about how my child will use the phone I gave her without setting any parental controls.”
If you can’t parent, that’s not our fault.
To clear up any confusion:
There are TWO bans on under 16's access to social media in the UK. The first is at the app level and this comes into play next year. It will require selected social media apps to prompt for age verification when accessing them.
The second more insidious one is happening much sooner. This one is the 'nudity detection' feature and this one operates on device level. It will require every adult to show a form of ID in order to operate their phones and tablets without restrictions/monitoring.
The voluntary deadlines to tech companies to implement this is around early September this year.
If Apple, Google and others don’t implement device-level monitoring by then, the government has said it will bring forward legislation to make it mandatory.
People saying "Just use a VPN!" are not understanding how this works.
People *need* to understand this: the under-16 bans hit adults too.
Whether you’re 15 or 55, your ability to speak freely and anonymously online is at risk.
This. Isn’t. Just. About. Teens.
At 17 you can
Have consensual sex
Have a kid
Drive a car
Work a job
Vote
Donate blood
Join the army
BUT you CANNOT watch YouTube after your allocated government bedtime lmao
Somebody has to be the richest person on the planet.
The fact that it’s the guy who popularized electric cars, made rockets reusable, and is working on curing blindness and paraplegia as a side quest seems fair to me.
Are people genuinely expected to believe the Kremlin looked at everything happening in the world and concluded that setting fire to Keir Starmer's property was the mission?
