Do you miss the point on purpose?
Under-16s to be banned from TikTok, YouTube and other social media

Should have to provide ID to join any web forums. Would certainly cut down on the anonymous keyboard warriors and fantasists.
Digital platforms already have enough information about their users.
I doubt you and I could call ourselves anonymous, Motts. I even know what you had for tea last night.
Would you include social media and facebook too ?
Definitely.
Glad I don’t have social media then.
Let’s hope there’s not a security issue… I don’t imagine a ford forum has much in the way of security
@noseall Seems confused. Should we upload ID to all forums and social media or not ?
Or just forums ?
Exactly, it's not about the kids, it's about everyone else.
Labour councils have often been accused of failing in their safeguarding duties (Rotherham etc.) Now all of a sudden they're all hand wringing and 'please think of the children!'
I was talking to my 14yo son about this last night, and asked him what he'd do when the ban comes in. He just said he'd use a VPN. I assume all VPNs (both free and paid-for) would have to use the same age verification? Otherwise they just set their country to one that has no such ban, and log in as usual? It will be interesting though; they tend to use snapchat for chatting with friends, so could use WhatsApp instead. But being bored and scrolling through tiktok or YT shorts would no longer be possible. Something will be brought out I'm sure, to fill the void. Already, a company is sitting there watching a potentially huge gap in the market, and wondering how they can fill it. Perhaps a new platform altogether, or just more of the same that uses some sort of loophole to the ban
Spoken like a true coward keyboard warrior.I guess that's what you would want...
A stalkers/bullies paradise
Nah just looking at things through the right prospective...
There's a lot of nasty people out there, and to be honest they are often not that intelligent
Take people like yourself who are quite happy to post pictures of your family to strangers, even toddlers...
That could be seen as a form of child abuse...
We never put anything online about our kids, even though they were miffed back in the day especially when we vetoed school photos...
But later on they have thanked us for doing so, and there is no images of them online pre adulthood...
Because once online it is there forever, and there are people who would take advantage of such information...
So before you come back again with another of your pointless quips, take a good look at yourself and then work out who you are harming in the future
Man moans about nasty people - while posting a nasty comment
