Right message, incredibly wrong messenger
Farage says Starmer’s social media ban ‘is well-intentioned’.
We disagree. It is not well-intentioned.
It is sinister.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer speaks ahead of announcing a social media ban for under-16s tomorrow morning
"How we keep kids safe online is one of the biggest debates of our time. As a dad, I know every parent wants their child to grow up safe and happy.
"This is a choice about whose side we’re on: families across the country, or a status quo that isn’t working. People rightly expect action, and this Government will always stand up for parents and put children first.
"That’s why we will call time on a system that’s failing our kids and take bold action to give every child the best possible start in life"

13 years ago this month, the Guardian broke the Snowden story...the biggest mass surveillance exposé in history.
Today it calls your concern about ID-linked browsing, spyware in your photos and messages, and broken encryption, "fake outrage" while Starmer's government demands backdoors into your iCloud and calls for people to be arrested for tweets.
The watchdog became the lapdog.

You’re going to see a lot in your X timeline about how the social media ban is unworkable and illiberal - and it will be one the most obvious examples of how social media skews debate.
But it will be one of the most popular things the government is doing

"Hiring, promoting, or treating someone more favourably solely because they have a protected characteristic" is literally illegal under the equality act. Have you tried reading it?
What is the divisive Equality Act?
Why do we need to get rid of it?
How will we protect workplace safeguards for pregnant women, the disabled and gay people?
Other parties will tinker and play catch up but @reformparty_uk is the only party with the backbone to restore fairness and stand up for working mums.

One MP says of the potential ban on social media for under 18s past 8.30pm:
"Are we giving votes to 16 year olds but banning them from watching the election results on YouTube?"

Jun 13
I was there. The angry little cowards (50 tops) fled. Full-on hate and rage masked up nazis. Apart from this guy. Proud to be a nazi.

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.

BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.
Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.
The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.
That means:
• Every image scanned
• Every message inspected
• Every video analyzed
All directly on your phone.
Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.
Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes.
In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach.
Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device.
Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.
