"90% support it"
Yeah in the same way dictators "win" elections - its a made up stat; the survey was publicly available and there was NO way to say no lol
People will attack this policy, but after extensive government consultation, 90% of the parents of under-16s support it. They have watched social media consume huge portions of their childrenโs lives, so have a very different perspective.
Social media amplifies narcissism, materialism, envy and division at an age when young minds are still developing. It keeps children trapped in a digital ecosystem designed to maximise engagement at the expense of real-world experiences, time outdoors, hobbies, independence, and learning how to socialise and build genuine friendships.
Perhaps most damaging of all, it encourages constant comparison. Children are measuring themselves against carefully curated versions of other peopleโs lives every hour of every day. It creates feelings of inadequacy and anxiety on a scale that older generations simply never experienced.
There will be much outrage about this, but this policy is truly about protecting children, and anyone who cares about the future of society should support it.
Community note
Said consultation didn't have an option for those who don't support it, only five different versions of yes and "don't know"

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?

There's a Genocide happening in Gaza.
Our Government is arresting pensioners for holding cardboard signs that say "I support Palestine Action."
And Andy Burnham - labours apparent last hope - won't even acknowledge what's really happening.

What are children actually supposed to do?
Like they have nowhere to go but home, everywhere costs too much money and they have no experience socially navigating without social media.
This just isolates abused, bullied and minority children.
