   the only problem with an under 16 social media ban is having to have age verification

     @Rocket requiring everyone to fine-grained classify their internet content is a phenomenally harder problem than verifying age tbh

     @sun let parents parent. If the governments actually cared they could fund decent parental controls. This has nothing to do with protecting minors. Everyone knows they don't give a shit about kids.

     @Rocket the world lives in the browser, you need classification, locking down per app is useless

     @sun parental controls could be way better even without additional content classifications.

     @sun net negative, completely. It's a stepping stone toward ID and licensing. 12-months, 2 years down the line "oh that didn't work, looks like we need ID for EVERY ONE OF YOU FUCKERS (except us because fuck you that's why)".
     
     Burn it all down.

     @sun Bans and curfews cut off vulnerable kids from their peers and non-resident family members. My ex-wife lied to, bullied and isolated our children from me and my family. When she kicked out eldest out AT TWELVE YEARS OLD, the daughter learnt that my family didn't hate her and abandon her. They took her in.
     
     Hiding under the covers at night with a secret tablet his mum didn't know about was the only way my son could communicate with the outside world before being assaulted by his step-father. She would get drunk and repeatedly physically attack him "you are just like your fucking father". Eventually he got a bit bigger, fought back and broke her rib. Small victories.
     
     This doesn't detail the mental and emotional abuse.
     
     Government is not the answer. Fuck them, all of them. I appreciate that there are a lot of nasty things and shitty people on the internet, but 'the government' is going to make life a lot more miserable for the vulnerable, the isolated and victims of domestic abuse.
     
     We had posters up at work detailing abusive behaviour, strangely a lot of it mapped pretty fucking well onto UK government policy and action.
     
     Attached pic somewhat related to my lat point.
     
     And don't give me shit about "oh yeah well, someone has to.... and and and back before social and and" Just fuck off.

     @Idoru I don't think it should actually be done, it's just my way of expressing that it's a majorly net negative even if there are uses.

     @sun and age verification is going to hurt adults more than children
