Ich höre @hakendran ja nur wegen den weltbesten Sprichwörter-Verhonepiepelungen von @gavinkarlmeier.

Danke, dass ihr das für uns auf euch nehmt ❤️💪.

A version of the U16s ban is already being debated in the UK House of Lords as an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
This goes beyond social media to include social functions of online games, WhatsApp and Wikipedia.
Shutting young people out of digital public spaces, rather than building ones that work for them is not protection. It is exclusion.

“Protecting children online should not mean building a surveillance infrastructure for everyone.”
“We need regulation that puts users back in control, not policies that force people to trade their privacy and voice for access to modern life.”
🗣️ James Baker for ORG.

Online harms are driven by platform design and business models. A blanket ban on young people doesn't fix this.
We need:
⚫ Interoperability to promote competition over standards.
⚫ Greater user control over feeds and content moderation.
⚫ Strong enforcement of data protection laws for children.
⚫ Limits on profiling and targeted advertising, and greater transparency around how user data is used on platforms.

Banning social media for under-16s is on the cards in the UK.
Age verification is the only way to do this, meaning millions will have to hand over sensitive data.
This industry lacks effective regulation. An U16s ban would multiply existing privacy risks.
