we're going to see unprecedented levels of teens playing on the street this summer, followed by unprecedented levels of curtain-twitchers posting photographs of teens on facebook going "WHOS KIDS R THESE. WHY ARE THEY OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE POLICE"

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.

banning social media for under 16s whilst not simultaneously investing in/supporting safe third spaces for kids to socialise in is going to do so much damage, like what the fuck are they doing

the british social media ban means younger people won’t have as much easy access to political information and are gonna be fed a bunch of propaganda, then that plus the lowered voting age means basically as a country we are fucked
