The UK is set to ban 16 year olds and under from accessing social media.
What they don't tell you: All ADULTS will have to ID to access, X, Facebook and a list of 10 "high risk" sites (of which, Bluesky is strangely exempt).
This is NOT for kids, it's to police adult speech!
This is a backdoor, a huge one, to allow the UK gov to better monitor your speech online, arrest more for what they say, and bully and intimate you from speaking out.
If it were to actually protect kids, Bluesky would NOT be exempt. There are numerous profiles of MAPs (minor attracted persons) on Bsky and they do nothing. Bsky is the actual CSAM haven, and the fact they are exempt shows you this law was never about protecting kids.
