i am a bitch.

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

i can’t be friends with everyone and this is why people think i’m a bitch but it’s perfect, weeds out all the mad ones

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

your mum is choking so you want to open TikTok for assistance instead of dialling 999? the first video pops up “put some lulu on this but, LULULEMON” now you’re distracted and mum is dead💀…. maybe they need to ban social media for everyone

What if a child is having dinner with their parent who is single mum and who has returned home from a long shift. Whilst enjoying their dinner the parent suddenly chokes. The child panics. They grab their iPhone 16 and open TikTok for assistance. But it’s blocked. What then?

[Alonso Gurmendi @Alonso_GD]

I’m not a tech person so maybe this is dumb but isnt it easier to create a “children’s phone” at point of sale so you get a phone with built-in restrictions rather than asking every single person in the country whether they are over 16 or not through hackable digital ID software?

[respawnedtargaryen @respawnedtarga1]

It went from “porn” to everything like we all predicted

[nico 🏁 🇧🇦 @bombdiggy__]

What do parents even do these days to keep their children safe on the internet ? I’d love to hear from parents. Because me a grown adult I can’t click on a dodgy football stream website without seeing pop ups of “meet lonely milfs in your area that wants to have sex with you”

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

why can’t they create phones with child mode? i dno everyone go back to having Nokia 3310 or something 😭🤣

[Ash 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇼 @theashrb]

We had a lot more things to do when we were their age tho, and these things were often free or very cheap. Is that the same today?

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

anyways the kids are not the problem, it’s the weirdo adults and predators. they need to figure something to do about them. the streets aren’t even safe.

[nico 🏁 🇧🇦 @bombdiggy__]

When the school prefect completely goes off script. Her head was goneeee

[2.0 @blixberrie]

The funny thing is, kids will get around the ban. Parents will be none the wiser. And the “issue” continues.

But now Elon Musk has my fucking address 🙂

[Nat ✨ FREE 🇵🇸 @loopzoooop]

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

@morz_e i get that age verification already exists and that we trust companies with data every day. my concern is whether expanding these requirements across more online services is necessary, proportionate & effective especially when we know teenagers will still find ways around them

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

children don’t need social media but that doesn’t mean adults should have to verify themselves with facial recognition, passports or banking checks to use the internet.

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

every conversation about restricting social media for children should be followed by a conversation about what we’re investing in instead. young people need somewhere to go, not just somewhere they’re banned from.

[denz @SYZNERGY]

Nobody wants to address the elephant in the room which is the fact that safe spaces for kids online have been co-opted by nonces and bad actors.

Instead of trying to make safer spaces for them we’ve decided “you shouldn’t be online at all.”

[nico 🏁 🇧🇦 @bombdiggy__]

Labour government needs to pump money into funding initiatives to keep children engaged then. Funding for councils and youth clubs, after school activities, tech boot camps, sport clubs etc

[#HYFR @bxns_hyfr]

If the UK government wants children off social media and back in parks, sports clubs and outdoor activities, then the streets need to feel safe too.

Social media isn’t the only problem.

[Ash 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇼 @theashrb]

It’s not lost on me that Social Media bans were never really seriously discussed until public opinion on a certain country started rapidly changing 😂

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

🤣🤣

[Officialgracie @OfficialGracie]

I don’t know how, I have no evidence but Starmer wants to bore those kids straight into the army😂 just wait

[#SuckADeek.✨ @asvpayo]

sorry this is so funny, they can still call and text their friends

[Gareth Clarke @gxrethclarke]

On another note - I lived in the *literal* middle of nowhere growing up. The only way I could connect with my school friends was via social media. How are kids in these isolated communities meant to function?

[Madame La Directrice @jenny_gxo]

The government needs to understand that just banning social media isn’t gonna stop children unless you actually INVEST in them.
Free sports, free extra curricular activities, more parks, more centres.
You want them to touch grass but there is none outside.
