This all seems to be a ploy to link IP addresses and online activity directly to an identifiable person to make them easier to catch and track down. The government falsely assumed that everyone watches porn and they thought they would get everyone that way. It obviously did not work as well as they were hoping so they are now expanding it. (I have always said that initial laws are just a foot in the door, those laws will always be expanding after the fact into their true original intended purpose).
So their plan now is if you want to use any social media or much of the internet in any way, you will need to prove that you are over 18 which means submitting an ID. This will require far far more ID submissions which will massively expand the government database, which was the real plan all along, not the safety of children.
The funniest thing about this is after all the fuss about the Online Safety Act, this blanket ban on kids using social media pretty much renders the entire act pointless and made it a giant waste of time. Which to be honest, proves that the act was never about protecting children but was really about building a giant database that links all online activity directly to a person.
This database would then be constantly poured over by AI to flag "citizens of concern" to the government who may be potential political dissidents, saying naughty anti-government things etc so the government can pre-emptively act against them.

B’Tselem: Published a report titled "Our Genocide," concluding that Israel is acting systematically to destroy Palestinian society in Gaza.
@JuliaHB1@ZackPolanski Julia i can't believe you don't think there's been a genocide in Gaza, can you imagine if the British did the same in Belfast and raised it to the ground. One side has an Army, Navy, Airforce, and media control the other does not.
Let’s get one thing straight before they gaslight you into swallowing this. This is NOT just about “age verification” so kids can’t scroll TikTok.
The under-16s social media ban, and the under-18s VPN ban, is digital verification for everyone; because the only way to enforce it is to make every single person prove their age, prove their identity, and “check in” with the State before accessing the modern internet.
And yes… you already know where it leads.
OneLogin.
A centralised identity system designed to collect your credentials and your biometrics (face, iris, fingerprint) and bind them to a single government account.
This ban is not the end goal.
It is one verification type.
One tiny draconian token.
One single piece of the Digital ID puzzle.
And the equation remains the same:
OneLogin + GOV Wallet = Digital ID.
Age verification will become one token on that wallet, but first, before the wallet is fully normalised, before it’s “rolled out” to every citizen through exclusion and coercion, they’ll do what they always do:
They’ll introduce the gate first.
To access a VPN, a social media site, or even an AI tool, you will be forced to “prove” you are over 16 or 18 — and the proof won’t be a private check, or a local device setting, or a parental control.
It will be a government check.
A government login.
A government permission slip.
You will have to “check in” with GOV OneLogin to access the internet like a normal person — and soon enough a token for this will be issued into the GOV Wallet, just like the proposed BritCard token that has now allegedly been “scrapped.”
This is the same system, the same architecture, the same rollout pattern... just with a different sticker slapped on the front.
And once the token exists, it becomes the default.
Once it becomes the default, it becomes the requirement.
Once it becomes the requirement, it becomes the leash.
Because what they’re building is not an age gate.
It’s a permission gate.
A surveillance gate.
A system where your ability to access platforms, services, information, communication — your ability to exist online — becomes conditional on your compliance with a credential check that is logged, tracked, and centrally controlled.
They will see what you do.
When you do it.
What you search.
What you access.
What you post.
And people will still be saying, with a straight face:
“Well, it’s a good thing under-16s are being banned from social media… they’ll be safer.”
That’s the bait.
Then you hear Starmer say: “How will parents police this alone?”
And notice what he’s really saying.
He is not empowering parents.
He is positioning the government next to parents, granting the State the same “authority” to parent your child, to decide what is healthy, what is harmful, what is permitted, what is “wellbeing,” and what must be restricted.
The same government that has lied to you for years about safety.
The same government that signs away your rights in the name of protection.
The same government that cannot define a woman, cannot secure a border, cannot arrest a p3dophile (rather employs and promotes them), cannot run a hospital — but somehow wants you to believe it can be trusted to police your child’s mind.
And if you think this is going through “proper process,” think again.
A month ago they announced a consultation on the under-16s ban. That consultation is a red herring.
Because Starmer’s little phrase “Fast Track” is just PR language for something much uglier:
Henry VIII powers.
Powers that allow ministers to change legislation without parliamentary scrutiny, without debate, without any democratic friction.
And that means the actual rules — the ones that govern your data, your access, your verification, your wallet, your permissions — will not be written on the floor of the House.
They will be written by an unelected civil servant in a closed room, and rubber-stamped by a Secretary of State.
The consultation is not democracy. It is the hologram of democracy. Designed to make you feel heard while the law is already coded, the architecture already built, and the enforcement mechanism already chosen.
And it gets worse.
Because this ban is being routed through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill; a bill that will receive Royal Assent before the consultation even ends.
So what exactly are you “consulting” on?
A decision that’s already been made.
A system that’s already being implemented.
A lock that’s already being installed on your front door while they ask you what colour you’d like the handle to be.
Then there’s the Unique Identifier for ALL children.
They will sell it as “tracking attendance.”
But it isn’t an attendance system.
It is a digital tether.
A permanent state identifier for your child, designed to follow them across systems, databases, services, education, healthcare, “wellbeing,” behavioural monitoring, and digital permissions.
And once you combine a Unique Identifier with digital tokens, with “digital wellbeing” regulation, with AI-driven scoring, you have built something monstrous:
A system where a child’s “Wellbeing Score” can drop — determined by government-approved metrics, possibly processed by government AI — and the State can remotely revoke their digital tokens.
Effectively deleting their social existence until they comply.
No access.
No platform.
No digital participation.
No “privileges.”
Just compliance.
And here’s the part people are missing:
They are granting themselves the power to amend the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill without proper parliamentary scrutiny and without waiting for the consultation to end.
They are giving the Secretary of State delegated powers to regulate “digital wellbeing” which is a euphemism so broad you could drive an authoritarian regime through it.
They can amend laws at any time.
They can expand definitions at any time.
They can widen the net at any time.
Meaning the Prime Minister and Secretaries of State become the architects and the judges.
The lawmakers and the enforcers.
And Henry VIII powers are named after a tyrant for a reason. Because they were designed for a monarch who forced Parliament to pass laws and accept personal proclamations.
That is the lineage of the power Starmer is dressing up as “Fast Tracking.”
This isn’t safeguarding.
It’s centralisation.
And it doesn’t stop there.
The other legislation being pulled into this system is the Crime and Policing Bill which is progressing as we speak and the Online Safety Act 2023 — both of which contain mechanisms to expand and amend enforcement without passing fresh primary legislation.
Meaning they can tighten the screws without the public ever noticing.
No new “big scary bill.”
No headline.
No national debate.
Just silent regulatory expansion.
A little more coercion.
A little more surveillance.
A little more permissioning.
Until one day you wake up and the internet — the place you work, learn, communicate, bank, shop, organise, speak, and live — requires you to present a government token just to enter.
And you’ll be told it’s normal.
You’ll be told it’s safety.
You’ll be told it’s “for the children.”
This consultation is a farce.
The law is being passed.
Age verification for all will be forced upon us unless we act now, and unless people stop staring at the headline and start seeing the architecture.
This is not even the start of mission creep.
This is another step.
Another spoke.
Another token.
Another gate.
And yes, there are other ways to improve online safety.
Every person over 16 is issued with a National Insurance number.
There are privacy-preserving options.
There are local-device checks.
There are non-centralised approaches.
But that is not the point.
Because the point is not safety.
The point is control.
This is part of the digital gulag.
The panopticon.
A credentialed society where your ability to participate is conditional, permissioned, and revocable... and where the State holds the master key.

@VincentOshana We don't need any god to find happiness, we can only find it within, not without , anything external is temporary.
Love ya on BPD, watch from the UK
@WilliamJHague Lol are you serious, do you honestly believe we have a democracy in the UK . It's people like you that have corrupted democracy liberty and freedom.
These files are a BOMBSHELL.
Thanks to the @JudiciaryGOP, we now have proof that the EU has been actively censoring legal content that goes against their agenda—and that they interfered in at least 8 European elections, including the Dutch elections of 2023 and 2025, by meeting with social media platforms to pressure them to censor political speech in the days before the vote.
Leading up to the Dutch elections of 2023 the EU commission even made the then Dutch Interior Ministry @hugodejonge a "trusted flagger" entitled to make priority censorship requests under the DSA.
What kind of political speech did they want to censor, you ask?
- “Populist rhetoric”
- “Anti-government/anti-EU content”
- “Anti-elite” content
- “Political satire”
- “Anti-migrant and Islamophobic content”
- “Anti-refugee content/anti-immigrant sentiment”
- “Anti-LGBTQI content”
- “Meme subculture”
In other words, anything that goes against their agenda, anything remotely right-wing or conservative, and anything pertaining to the disastrous migrant situation we have here in Europe.
And guess what the only platform was that did not cooperate? @X, of course. The same platform that the EU is fining for 120 million euros under the DSA and the same platform that is currently having its offices raided in France.
This is the type of stuff over which governments should resign and institutions like the EU should fall. Democracy is dead.
Abolish the EU! Now!
