Add Mumsnet to the list of WEF agitators
Fantastic news that the government has listened to parents, to Mumsnet users and to other campaigners, and chosen to take meaningful action.

If I speak about the Mumsnet impact on this country, you pipo will call me Thatcher. A congregation of parents who believe the nanny state should raise their kids.

it’s not surprising that one of the consultants for this was mumsnet, a site filled with conservative and anti-trans rights bile. parents are often if not always the first abusers of children. even as an adult my parents do not see me as on the same level as them.
People making the point that this is about creeping authoritarianism aimed at adults, which it is, but the ongoing crusade for "parent's rights" e.g. to reaffirm that children are the property of their parents and deserve zero autonomy whatsoever is also a crucial aspect of this.

Typical of Prosecco Stormfront here, fucking over everyone else in the country for decades to come because they're such self-righteously shit parents. There isn't a single person on Mumsnet fit to be a parent.

I’ll set aside what this policy is obviously actually about - the erosion of online anonymity and building the quiet infrastructure for silencing (and criminalising) dissent - and play ball by pretending it’s about child protection. If you want to effectively safeguard children online (speaking as a former safeguarding practitioner among other things - though you don’t need to have any professional experience to see how catastrophically bad a policy this is), this is categorically the wrong approach. Banning children from social media will not make them safer; it will make them invisible. They will inevitably find their way around the ban - in Australia, seven in ten children retained active accounts after the ban came into force - except now they will do so covertly, without parental oversight, while parents assume that their job has been outsourced to the state and that their child(ren) is not online and thus doesn’t require supervision. The net effect is less supervision, not more, and a significantly more dangerous online environment for the very children the policy claims to protect. This is basic stuff. That those who govern us do not understand second and third-order consequences is concerning - and I’m not referring to people who fully understand what is happening here (e.g. the Prime Minister), but instead the moronic people like the former Technology Secretary of State who was on GB News (The Late Show Live) just now who don’t seem to realise that kids are so much more tech savvy than them, and the nagging harridans and moronic Mumsnet cheerleaders. Your average Gen Alpha kid will figure out a workaround relatively quickly and will soon be surfing the web unregulated and unsupervised. Congrats to everyone who advocated for this and those who continue to cheer it on. You are, with respect, idiots. (And, again, this isn’t about protecting the kids at all, but instead about controlling adults’ internet usage).

If you outlaw social media for kids, parents will stop monitoring their online activity completely. But the kids - who are far more tech savvy - will just find a workaround (it takes 1 min to download a free VPN) and end up using social media *totally unregulated unsupervised*.

Mumsnet users are the thickest people on the planet, nobody should be listening to them

It seems to me the denizens of Mumsnet just want someone else to raise their kids...

Every reason used to justify the OSA and the new adult verification system is already dealt with by another law. Insane mumsnet psychosis making people believe that children will somehow top themselves because they use Facebook
