We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

The UK Government's 'careful review' of the research found a small correlation between children's use of social media and wellbeing, but no evidence of a causal effect:

Labour handing the NHS over to Palantir, outlawing teen transitions and banning social media seems to put to bed any 'lesser of two evils' position forever. This is all as evil as it gets.

“Giving children their childhood back?”
So reopening the 2,000 youth clubs closed under neoliberalism? The 1,000 children’s centres?
Recreating the 10,000 playing fields lost?
Or the 800 playgrounds lost in the last 10 years?
The 1,000 libraries?
The after-school clubs closed?

It’s incredible to me how people have moved on from this. It still stands as a reminder of the worst tragedy in London’s modern history and it feels like it has been totally swept under the rug

This should be a career-ending scandal. But life under Trump is so hellish, it's not even front-page news.
