They’re the same thing 🙂

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Under the pretext of banning under-16s from social media to “protect the children,” Keir Starmer has snuck in some small print that should make Americans really glad that all the tea was dumped into the Boston harbour back in 1773.

Adults will still be “allowed” to use the platforms… once they’ve handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child.

So it was never really about the kids. It was about making sure every single person who wants to speak online has to first tell the government exactly who they are.

Step 1: Link your real identity to your speech

Step 2: police have a lovely searchable database of every spicy take, meme, or complaint you’ve ever posted

Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debunking, for out-of-bounds speech

The UK is in a free fall.

Keir Starmer’s snap announcement to impose digital id verification on entire nation is unacceptable

We are leafletting in Makerfield & then headed back to London

Let’s make sure we all stand Together on this.

More coming v soon

🚨UPDATE : Not only may Keir Starmers social media ban be in breach of Article 8 it may now also be in breach of Article 10 of the ECHR.

And yes the ECHRs rights extends to children.

[Jim Ferguson @JimFergusonUK]

🚨 STARMER IS NOW BEING CALLED OUT ON THE WORLD STAGE

For years, concerns about mass migration were dismissed as a domestic political issue.

Not anymore.

Nile Gardiner argues that Donald Trump is right to speak out because what is happening in Britain and Europe affects the future of the entire Western world.

The significance of this moment is not simply the criticism of Keir Starmer.

It is the fact that Britain's migration policies are now being debated far beyond Westminster.

What was once dismissed as a local issue is rapidly becoming an international one.

And the scrutiny is only increasing.

🗣️ Elon Musk s’exprime après que plusieurs Européens dont la France et le Royaume-Uni aient décidé d’interdire les réseaux sociaux au moins de 16 ans :

« Cette loi sur la censure est un loup dans la peau d'un agneau. Le véritable objectif est de permettre aux gouvernements de tracer tout le monde. »

30 million British children just turned off automatic updates on their devices and the Kier has egg all over his pants. Premature.

[Alex 🇵🇸🇱🇧 @foleywoley]

I don't mean to sound hysterical, but it's exceedingly obvious that the social media ban, the PA proscription, and the assisted dying bill are all unified moves by a government with no intention of bettering people's lives, only snuffing out dissent.

[Father Chopmas 🎅🏼 @TweetingChop]

Starmer’s ban on social media isn’t a ban for 17 year olds and below.

It’s a ban for the entire population, until you identify yourself and link your social media to your ID.

It was never about protecting children.

[Jdm Restore Britain @JdmRestore]

BBC have said that RUSSIA orchestrated an Arson attack against the prime minister, so with that being said…..you can pretty much guarantee that RUSSIA had nothing to do with it.

[Samantha Carson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧 @misscarsonn]

Other parents: “Thank God Keir Starmer has banned social media and YouTube for under-16s. Best thing he’s ever done.”

Me, fully awake:
“Don’t worry kids, I’ve got the VPN ready.”

My children belong to me. Not the state.

And that is non-negotiable.

[ADAM @adamemedia1]

Social media opened the eyes of the youth to Israel and now every country is banning it…

[2.0 @blixberrie]

Starmer: We want to digitally ID everyone who uses social media

Brits: Absolutely Not!

Starmer: OK then, we want to ban under 16s from social media (by digitally ID-ing everyone)

Brits: OMG that’s a great idea. Idk what idiot would be against that 🥴

The amount of young men and women backing Restore Britain is inspiring.

Patriots.

[Micktheskinz @Mickskinz]

I'm actually shocked at how fucking naive people are.
You would have thought after Covid people would have woken up to what is actually going on all across the globe.
Lock step surveillance and state control.
Covid was an intelligence test.
Half of you cunts are cabbages🫵

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.

[I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸 @ImMeme0]

🇬🇧 British father posted a video of his son being pulled off his motorcycle and choked by a thief who was also carrying a knife in Hedon, London.

Later, he tracked down the suspect and helped police arrest him.

Brits are not safe in England anymore.

[mert @mert]

this is absolutely insane

- the UK now proposes scanning of all PRIVATE content on user devices or *jail* (for the execs) of device companies

^ recall how the french already arrested pavel earlier this year

- this is on a *device level* -- meaning you can not even use the phone freely *unless you literally KYC* -- does not matter which apps you use

- on top of this, they will require *another* KYC submission on the app-level to access certain apps

so this would mandate both device-level and app-level surveillance

this is the most draconian shit I have seen in tech yet

[Colin Wright @SwipeWright]

If this turns out to be the case, it will be a brazenly political decision that's inexcusable.

No social media app glorifies hate and violence more than Bluesky. Just last week, the large and influential user Ken White called for Elon's assassination. The post is still up!
