It is now being reported that X will be banned for children under 16 in Britain.
But that the woke platform BlueSky will not be banned.
This is obviously political.
BlueSky is a far bigger threat to children than X, Facebook or YouTube.
No social media platform is perfect, but BlueSky has serious child safeguarding issues that need addressing.
Yet somehow it's been left off the ban list.
The Government needs to explain the logic.
Jeremyโs comment on the governmentโs proposed 9pm social media curfew for 16 & 17 year olds -
โYou donโt trust them to be on social media after 9pm, yet youโre happy for them to vote. How does that work? Am I taking crazy pills?โ
X is banned for under 16s, but Bluesky isn't.
X is a platform where people regularly share videos of crime, protests, political scandals and government failures.
The other is overwhelmingly left wing and far more sympathetic to the establishment, with no videos of crime, or government failure.
Naturally children, who have no other options, are now going to flood onto Bluesky and only see left leaning viewpoints.
This is a two tier social media ban.
Australia banned X for children but not BlueSky.
Britain is banning X for children but not BlueSky.
This proves one thing.
It's not about protecting children.
It's about censorship and controlling the narrative.
