@Lord_Talbot64 No, we need your retinal scan to access MySpace. Far easier.

@leicesterliz Crying out for help, but won't take a device away from their child or monitor access, or learn how to lock a device down.

@RobDorsettSky ANALYSIS - "I dunno".
Top work.

@miriam_cates The lack of awareness is charming, in its own kind of way.

@PatrickChristys Don't worry, "lessons will be learned".

@LeilaniDowding Classic case of manufactured consent.

Would love to see the BBC put their "Buy a TV Licence" QR bullshit on screen during EastEnders or Wimbledon or Olympics.
Fucking desperate.

@DschlopesIsBack A good reminder to not judge a country by its politicians, political activists, or news media.

My 17-year-old daughter:
“I’m confused. We’ve always been taught not to share personal information or anything that identifies us online because it isn’t safe. Now they want us to do exactly that to access social media.”

[Rob Franklin @justfranklin]

@Michael_J_Hil @rcolvile Yup, it's a total sound-byte policy that does well with low-information voters / poll respondees and NPCs.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

One of the greatest threats to internet freedom and privacy are these manipulative laws, now spreading, that force people to prove they're of a certain age to use social media platforms and other sites. The UK Government, naturally, is now seeking this.

The defense of these laws is emotionally powerful by appealing to child protection, but the real goal is online surveillance, an end to anonymity, and control over political content that young people can access. Few have done a better job reporting on these tyrannical threats than @TaylorLorenz. Read this:

The internet has got worse since politicians took notice.

[Jess Brown-Fuller MP @JessBrownFuller]

Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban.
‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’
‘Keir Starmer’
‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

[Rob Franklin @justfranklin]

@Conservatives Absolute bullshit. Parents already have the tools without introducing state surveillance for internet access.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@EmmanuelMacron Of a government surveillance state 😠

[Julia Hartley-Brewer @JuliaHB1]

If you want to know why the PM's social media ban for under-16s isn't the solution and why it could spell danger for adults too, then watch my interview with @silkiecarlo at @BigBrotherWatch on @TalkTV ⬇️⬇️⬇️

@kevin_bradish @TVKev The majority of people who answered a context-free question, which meant they wouldn't have to do anything, back it.

[Rob Franklin @justfranklin]

@dokacola @TVKev Social media causes most mental illness cases?
I'd love to see any evidence that even comes close to supporting that wild statement.

[Rob Franklin @justfranklin]

@LFC @DFB_Team 7 goals. He gets 1 assist. Wow.
