There used to be accessible media dedicated to children and teens on TV, and loads of educational programming.

CBBC etc basically doesn’t exist anymore. They shifted all these things to online spaces and now telling children to come offline while providing no alternatives? Idk

labour saw how unpopular digital id was and rebranded it to a child social media ban lmfao. i hate this god damn party so much!

> Give 16 year olds the vote because they are historically Labour supporting
> Absolutely nuke any chances of them ever voting for Labour

Masterful gambit Sir Keir

[Daniel Gerke @drgerke1]

So 16 year olds are going to be voting on a diet entirely of their parents opinions, the BBC and the right wing press…

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says he spent two hours "chatting" with Donald Trump over dinner last night

"We get on really well"

kids who go to private school don't have to follow the national curriculum

[S. I. Rubinstein @si_rubinstein]

It is appallingly modern for a future king to attend school. Is he going to do _An Inspector Calls_ at GCSE? Is he going to have to learn how to write 'PEEL paragraphs'?

5 Household name UK artists that would have never had careers if they lived under the social media ban:

Trying to think for both Ireland and the UK what was the last piece of major legislation for the under 65s that wasn't some kind of crackdown, ban or cuts.

an underdiscussed aspect of modern capitalism is that most low-wage jobs tightly regulate what you're doing at all times while you're on the clock and most high-wage jobs consist of hours of unstructured time in front of the computer during which you can do whatever

NEW: Keir Starmer confirms that Pinterest will be included in the under-16s social media ban.

"Kids don't need ideas" he said, while spinning in a chair and stroking a white cat.

[Josie Long @JosieLong]

Everybody was told in 2010-15 that austerity was painful but necessary to improve living standards. And then no improvements came, ever.

[Daniel Gerke @drgerke1]

It would be *much* more socially transformative to ban social media for over-65s

[Elizabeth Lilburne @besslilburne]

Banning YouTube for teenagers is obviously nuts. Clearly no one is using TikTok for educational purposes but YouTube is for everything! Why the hell would you try to stop 14 year olds accessing guitar tutorials? History documentaries? News clips?

[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

[Elinor @teeteass]

things that are obviously fascist but even though i know, they're so normalised i feel like i'm going crazy:
discouraging people to go to university
erosion of fair trail
normalisation of ethnonationalism
normalisation of treating trans people badly and/or denying their existance

[Elinor @teeteass]

there were actually loads of really bad and harmful vines we just don't remember them because they're not memorabe or fun and you're too young to remember
It's like black and white movies, 'why were they all so good'
They literally weren't

[BRAVING! @cattobingu]

can anyone into sociology explain why vine felt safe and fun and led to many iconic memes & is fondly remembered yet tiktok feels like the actual devil making our species meaner and dumber by the day
