I'm glad you're spreading the word on this BS. But what can I even do, as an American citizen? Write a strongly-worded letter?

Back in September last year, Australia announced a ban on social media for kids and the main sentiment in that thread was that it was a good idea and that social media was trash.
Now everyone is pro social media for kids - what changed?

This bill was submitted to the Congress multiple times before and has died each time. I stated that Americans won't stand for this and got a bunch of LOL emojis but Europeans are the ones living under a pervasive authoritarian censorship regime

We Americans can take care of our own shit, thanks. You guys should probably look to your affairs though. The EU has stated they will implement similar to the UK regime in 12 months

the UK is completely deranged. they're more concerned with online trolls than girls being raped.

it really is insane how their government has become so twisted that somehow they've achieved censorship for its native citizens while giving maximum freedom to freeloading foreigners.

To protect 13-year old girls

Fucking vile coming from a government who still dither going after rape gangs of a certain persuasion, but also agrue that we simple must let more men with a tendency for sexual emergencies in.

Not even social media but straight porn. It just depends on whether it's liberties that specific group likes or dislikes. I'm sure a lot here use porn but a majority would be completely fine with an outright tiktok ban for example. They wouldn't give a shit about protecting the rights/freedoms of those other individuals as long as it's something they don't do.

Tell me why they shouldn't kick ILLEGAL migrants out. Fully deserved action.

In UK you can't even criticize the government...

Americans won't stand for this, unlike in Europe we do value freedom as one of our nation's founding virtues

We don't value freedom in Europe? News to me.

I'm perfectly fine for verification for porn websites - again, probably close to 100% of men watch porn, how is this fucking news suddenly? "Oh, no, I cannot stand the fact they might out me as a porn user"?

Really a strange hill to die on. And before any "struggling millionaire" commends "it's a slippery slope" - no, it's not if you don't have the IQ of a donkey. Let me make it easy for you:

Don't see labour lasting at all to 2028. SNP in Scotland Is on target to get a supermajority on Indie. Wales Is either going PC or ReformUK, If PC win that puts all Devo nations as having pro Indie parties. Yet the morons on /r/Scotland claimed once Kier was In everything will be fixed, All this within less than a year.
