VPN's will also be banned.
All UK Adults and all visitors to the UK will still be “allowed” (that is the word used in the fine print) to use the platforms…
Only once they have:
Handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child. (No details on how this data is secured or protected from misuse or hacking, who is storing it, where, who has access)
Step 1: Link your real identity to your location via IP and your speech.
Step 2: Police have a lovely searchable database of all data and locations of every UK adult, and what they read, write, view. Every spicy take, meme, cartoon, comment, or political analysis.
Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debanking, for out-of-bounds speech.
This is fascism.
The only country that does this is North Korea.
Even China doesn't have this level of authoritarian control of it's populace.
@KonstantinKisin PSA: It has been revealed that the public consultation data Keir Starmer is using to promote his social media ban did NOT have an ‘against’ option.
The ban on social media for children under 16 is an idea that has merits. But the way it is being done is simply a way to force everyone, including adults, to identify themselves online, creating the most powerful surveillance and censorship architecture in human history.
👁️A social media ban = digital ID checks for all
Children have been let down for years by tech companies, by previous governments, and now by this Labour Government.
They’re using that failure as an excuse to rush in mass surveillance | #No2DigitalID
@0TulsiGabbard2 Pushing digital ID on everyone. Everyone regardless of age will need to verify before they can access social media. All about control. WEF
