Imagine going to school, going straight to work after, and coming home in the evening past 8:30pm and you can’t even revise for your a levels because YouTube is deemed as social media. This is ridiculous.

The too expensive is so real, I’ve been gaming all my life, and I have just seen the gaming hobby get more and more expensive, everything is getting so expensive, no wonder ppl fill their time with so much social media, it’s free, other entertainment costs an arm and a leg

I’m 18 now so this ban wouldn’t effect me but man this sucks. When I was 12 I taught myself how to program and create games and I got into uni because of my experience, if I was born a couple years later I wouldn’t know what I want to do with my life. I get TikTok and instagram but YouTube isn’t a good move

You’da thought that all that age & facial recognition technology they’d have been able to pay for safer controls on the apps, and educating parents into safer internet monitoring.

Nah, the social media ban has been a long time coming. gripe over the digital ID element, but researchers have lobbied for this for years. the evidence to support it is overwhelming (and yes, we need to start investing in community centres and spaces for children again)

this is ridiculous, facial recognition is a bit dystopian, no? also parents aren't doing enough to help children and not stick an iPad in their faces when they can't deal with them.

Children are going to die because of this. Social media can offer a safe space for so many young people, depriving them of that will not help anything.

Where is the investment in youth clubs in communities, reduced prices of cinema tickets for 16 and under, reduced prices/free gym memberships for under 16’s? It’s all well and good to take away a massive way kids socialize now, but.. what are they supposed to do now? You complain about youth crime, county lines, youth drug use etc. Unless incentives are put in place, you’re just taking away kids’ safe space to talk and socialize, and doing nothing to enable to do so outside of social media. I’ve got a 1st class degree in Childhood Studies and as much as I agree social media isn’t the best, kids have nothing to fall back on developmentally. This government hasn’t thought about it at all clearly. Children’s well-being is paramount to them academically and socially achieving later in life.

Why should an entire country have to hand over ID just because some platforms can't properly police their own content? The responsibility should be on the platforms, and they should be held accountable. If you think protecting children is the real reason adults are being asked to upload ID to prove who they are online, you're kidding yourself. Governments and corporations have ignored issues like child poverty, hunger, and underfunded mental health services for years, so why should anyone suddenly believe this is purely about children's wellbeing? Parents already have tools available to restrict and monitor what their children access online. Let parents parent. Why are we shifting that responsibility onto every adult in the country? this won't achieve its "intended" purpose anyway. Where there's a will, there's a way. Young people will find workarounds, just as they always have. Instead of making the internet safer, you're likely to push children into less regulated and more dangerous online spaces while making some less digitally literate. Shame they cant find a way to ban the weirdos. If the goal is genuinely to help young people, invest in youth clubs, community centres, third spaces, schools, and mental health services. Address the reasons children seek unhealthy online spaces in the first place rather than creating barriers that many will simply find ways around.they are just collecting more data and gaining more control, serving themself as usual!!
