Keir Starmer wants to ban social media for everyone under 16.
Before we debate whether that's a good idea, I have one question:
How exactly does he plan to enforce it?
Will everyone now need to upload a government ID before accessing social media?
Give parents more tools instead of giving governments more power.
Every restriction starts with a good sounding reason.
The question is not whether children should be protected.
The real question is whether protecting children requires everyone else to surrender privacy.

A better approach would be to work with telecom companies, device manufacturers, and technology platforms.
Create optional child safe ecosystems for parents who want them, options like:
Safer SIM cards, Safer devices, Safer app stores.
Better parental controls.

What looked like a terrible accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
According to the child's father, a CT scan after this crash revealed a 4cm mass in his son's brain that had gone completely unnoticed.
If not for the fall, they might never have found it.
