Police brutality Unequal education Maternal mortality Child welfare involvement These are all systems in which, and are not an exhaustive list, of the ways in which systemic racism is *quantifiable*. This is what we want with BLM. This is what needs changing. Not murals painted

The thing about me? I will address it immediately And when it is bad enough, I will address it 10 years later because I know you didn't learn the first time B/c what you did doesn't just go away. And I will make you face it. I will lose family or friends if they choose that shi

Give me one genuine good reason why you, as a parent, can't ban your own kid from social media if you think its bad for them. Why are you such a shitty parent that you have to control all kids based on your inability.

The people insisting how brilliant banning social media is, because it “gets kids off their phones”, are the same people who call the police on groups of kids hanging out with their friends in public spaces because they’re a “nuisance” Then say they’re “thinking of the children”

🚨 Trump's Campaign Chairman Tim Nolan has been convicted of trafficking 19 girls, 7 of them underage.

Nothing to do with safety, just a step toward digital ID that he wants to force on us. He wants your passport linked to your social media

Loool going for the kids instead of the companies is the most British thing ever

This is the real motivation behind it. I don't want social media apps to have a picture of my face or my passport or my (dear god) credit card details so this restricts my freedoms too. But this will fly under the radar as this is framed at only affecting children.

Throughout history banning things that young people want has been hugely successful. They definitely won't find ways around this within 20 seconds and will instead all be enjoying the beautiful recreational facilities our governments have been so busy concreting over and closing for the past 30 years.

You're imposing DigitalID under the guise of protecting children. If you cared about kids you'd wouldn't protect pedophiles, you'd take them out of circulation. Dressing up in 'civvies' for this doesn't say "I'm one of you" or 'Filmed on Sunday' it says 'PR'. Just get lost, creep

The state is using children to make the population hand over their data to corporations, which the state can then access.⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ This is a mandatory implementation of a Digital Identity surveillance system. a legislative coercion mechanism designed to force private technology companies to build a government-controlled identity verification infrastructure. The ultimate goal is to end digital anonymity by requiring every citizen to register their biological identity with the state or their corporate proxies to access the internet.🚨🚨🚨🚨 The Plan: 1. The Ban: The government passes a law banning under-16s from social media. 2. The Panic: Social media companies (Meta, TikTok) face massive fines if they fail to comply. 3. The Compliance: To avoid fines, companies implement "robust age verification." This requires users to upload passports, driving licenses, or submit to facial scans. 4. The Data Handover: Every user in the UK, regardless of age, is swept up in this verification dragnet because the system cannot process a login without distinguishing a minor from an adult. 5. The Result: A centralized database of citizens linked to their social media accounts is created, not by the government, but by private corporations who are then legally compelled to share this data with the state under "safety" audits.

I have been trying to actually watch this episode for literally over an hour. I have rewound it so many times I am now at...minute 7. Again. For, like, the 10th time

The tools required to enforce social media bans for under 16s will be used to build the police state

instead of advocating for safe online third spaces for young people and involving online safety in education we will just make them internet illiterate and susceptible to fraud and abuse when they're older, nice

The Royal Society for Blind Children and the National Deaf Children's Society have both come out against the Starmer social media ban. "Internet bad" is a trendy, upper-middle-class opinion for people with extracurricular budgets that ignores legions of people who rely on it.

The UK social media ban affects adults too. If this comes to the US, say goodbye to your privacy and free speech. My latest for @JoinYoungVoices

There's no way to ban under 16s without age verifying everyone, which means ID checks or face scans to log on for every adult in the country. Thats the actual prize here, ID locking the whole internet and ending anonymity, and "for the children" is just the trojan horse to sell it. Parents can already keep their kids off social media, they dont need a surveillance state to do it for them.

This sorry excuse for a politician is going to help billionaires in the Epstein files to collect data on your children. When these companies are hacked or billionaire buddies ask they'll have ready-made list of which accounts are kids. And then they'll sex traffic them

Bragging that you're happy to give billionaire companies, many of whose owners are in the Epstein files, a ready-made list of where to find your kids, and giving them your kids' private data, is actually fucking insane.

Relief and pain from understanding at the same time is so difficult to navigate through. The relief is gonna win. I'm happy knowing. I needed to know why. As usual. But god damn processing an entire lifetime that suddenly makes sense is ROUGH

Kids will be using VPNs and such like to use their social media which will be even worse. They’ll end up on the dark web or some shit by accident
