Media apps have responded to Keir Starmers social media ban: YouTube: “YouTube is a vital resource for young people, educators and parents. Blanket bans push kids out of such curated, supervised, beneficial experiences and towards anonymous, less safe services.” Meta: (Instagram, Facebook) “As we’ve seen in Australia, bans risk isolating teens from online communities and information, and driving them to unregulated alternatives that lack built-in protections and parental controls.” Snapchat: “Because the majority of time spent on Snapchat is in private messaging between friends and family, an outright ban that disconnects teens from those relationships doesn’t make them safer – it may simply push them to less safe platforms.” Elon Musk: (X) “This censorship law is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The real goal is to enable the UK government to track everyone.” He also said today that the UK is a police state.

Third worlders? Randomly attacking someone in the street? You don't say?

Try cracking as many bones as you're capable of doing. To give my Mrs the ick I crack my neck a few times. My elbows. Fingers. My lumbar. Etc

So he's blasian

Farage says Starmer’s social media ban ‘is well-intentioned’. We disagree. It is not well-intentioned. It is sinister.

This is Paul mason Paul mason is retarded and doesn't know what fascism is Don't be like Paul Mason

🚨UPDATE: A 23 year old “man” has been CHARGED after a woman was RAPED in Arbroath 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Police received reports of a serious sexual assault on bridge street on June 6th. A 23 year old was ARRESTED and CHARGED and is due to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court at a later date. STV reports that “social media posts saying the incident involved ‘illegal’ immigrants are incorrect” - yet NO DETAILS of the suspect have been released. By the way, this story was BURIED by the authorities and we only know about it through social media.

Hmmm Was kier pressured to include the nonce website?

By far the worst non argument I have seen.

Starmer took one look at china and the social credit system they have over there and was like...

Labour are proud of the social media ban. The Tories are celebrating the social media ban. Especially Laura Trottski who voted to decriminalise abortion up until birth, very selective “safeguarding” against children. Neither Labour or the Tories have changed.

Why isn't twitter for pedos (bluesky) included?

You whipped your MPs to vote against a national inquiry into Pakistani rape gangs. Your government also placed unvetted men in hotels near schools. You don’t care about protecting children, this is a political move for digital ID.

This all seems to be a ploy to link IP addresses and online activity directly to an identifiable person to make them easier to catch and track down. The government falsely assumed that everyone watches porn and they thought they would get everyone that way. It obviously did not work as well as they were hoping so they are now expanding it. (I have always said that initial laws are just a foot in the door, those laws will always be expanding after the fact into their true original intended purpose). So their plan now is if you want to use any social media or much of the internet in any way, you will need to prove that you are over 18 which means submitting an ID. This will require far far more ID submissions which will massively expand the government database, which was the real plan all along, not the safety of children. The funniest thing about this is after all the fuss about the Online Safety Act, this blanket ban on kids using social media pretty much renders the entire act pointless and made it a giant waste of time. Which to be honest, proves that the act was never about protecting children but was really about building a giant database that links all online activity directly to a person. This database would then be constantly poured over by AI to flag "citizens of concern" to the government who may be potential political dissidents, saying naughty anti-government things etc so the government can pre-emptively act against them. Minority Report. This is literally the plot of Minority Report.

Good! Now please proscribe Antifa too

You noticed that last bit about adults accessing social media? THAT is what this is really about. If Starmer wanted to protect children he would have been in favour for a proper rape gangs inquiry. He was not.

You cannot guilt brown people into thinking what you want them to think. God forbid a brown person speak on things they see. This has nothing to do with getting along in right wing spaces.

The British state has lost control of the border, so now it wants control of your thoughts. RICU is the Home Office unit used to shape narratives, brief the media, monitor speech and manage public anger after attacks involving terrorism, migration and race. Just think about that. When people are furious, the state does not ask why. It asks how to calm them down, shut them up, and make sure the “right” story is told. From Belfast to Southampton, from grooming gangs to "non-crime hate incidents" the ruling class is not trying to solve the crisis. It is trying to control the reaction.

This is a nanny state DICTATORSHIP dressed up as protecting your children. Tomorrow Starmer announces TWO things. A full social media BAN for under 16s and a CURFEW for 16 and 17 year olds at night. Different policies. Same destination. Australia tried the ban in December 2025. Three months later 70% of under 16s were STILL accessing banned platforms. Their own regulator confirmed it. VPN usage surged 6,430% when the UK introduced age verification. Starmer knows it will not work. So he is ALREADY consulting on banning VPNs. Documented. March 2026 consultation. That is what is hiding underneath tomorrow's announcement. But you cannot ban VPNs without knowing who is online. You cannot know without verified identity. Verified identity requires DIGITAL ID. And once that exists for under 16s it exists for everyone. All the time. Every child protection expert knows what happens next. Teenagers do not stop. They go somewhere darker. No rules. No oversight. No protection. The NSPCC said it themselves. This is the SAME government that just gave 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote. Starmer's own words. "If you can work, pay tax, serve in the Armed Forces then you ought to be able to vote." Trusted to choose the government. CURFEWED on the internet at night. The father of Molly Russell. The teenager whose death they are exploiting to justify all of this. Has called it a political stunt. Said Starmer is gambling with young lives to save his own. This was never about @elonmusk. Never about your children. It is about the one platform they cannot control. The one place their narrative machine cannot reach before you see the truth. Whoever replaces Starmer. Burnham. Anyone on that Labour bench. This infrastructure does not get dismantled. It gets EXTENDED. Tomorrow is not the end. It is just the beginning.
