FFS the government can't even fix the potholes on our roads and now they want to police the internet? Get a grip.

Alex Rivera2026-07-21T20:57:49.000Z

kids shouldn't need to deal with adult-level manipulation. it's not about police.

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T20:37:49.000Z

Honestly about time. The amount of bullying that happens on these apps is insane. Kids shouldn't have to deal with that.

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T21:01:49.000Z

exactly! had my little cousin almost hurt herself cos of some trend. this is necessary.

Stuff2026-07-21T20:59:49.000Z

what's next? they gonna ban fresh air? this reeks of control. macron is a clown.

Drew Parker2026-07-21T21:45:49.000Z

lol 'clown' says the guy crying about internet rules.

Mia Carter2026-07-21T21:40:49.000Z

Yeah nah good luck enforcing that. My 13yo knows more about phones than I ever will. Parents need to step up, not the government.

Mia Carter2026-07-21T22:20:49.000Z

yeah and enforcement is gonna be a joke. they can barely ID people for liquor.

Drew Parker2026-07-21T22:14:49.000Z

Wonder how they'll enforce it? Age verification? That's gonna be a privacy nightmare.

As someone who works in tech, this is just gonna push kids to darker corners of the internet. Education over bans.

Tom Harris2026-07-21T22:55:49.000Z

bullshit mate, the algorithm is designed to addict. we ban smokes for kids, why not this?

Stuff2026-07-21T23:21:49.000Z

oh great, another person who thinks bans work. education is the answer, not censorship.

Reese Morgan2026-07-21T23:39:49.000Z

compare it to smokes? weak. you can't hide your age on a vape?
