The main responsibility still lies with parents. Kids will bypass any restrictions given a little time. At 14 I was bypassing my schools IT restrictions and content filters.
Brilliant
Can we get one for over 16s as well?
It’s a good job we can still close this funny looking box with ‘Pandora’ written on it after we opened it back in the 2000’s. More performative bollocks as per.
How has this worked in other countries? Is it enforceable?
No more TikTok for Simon then?
9 months ago he said no more self regulation for social media.. how has he progressed so far on that issue? 🌬️
Feck that, could we not get it for under 50’s or something?
Ban it and legally enforce everyone going back to the 3210.
Snake and texting, yes please.
(And before anyone mentions it you can fuck off with 3310s and Snake 2.)
While we can work on multiple issues at once, we absolutely have many many issues that are far more important than this performative bollocks.
Sounds great
Oh, wow, FFFG doing something useful.
Well…just talking about it and collecting polling data…
You mean to tell me a country whose kids start riding scrambler bikes at 8, drinking at Confirmation age and smoking by junior cert is going to *ban* social media for under 16s?
You can’t ban everything , anymore than they could ban children in cars, but parental controls and app restrictions SHOULD be introduced. You can set up profiles on devices with restricted access, parental controls, passwords, timers etc. To many don’t do it because we’ve left smart technology become this thing where you pick it up and use it without understanding it. Even your driving lessons make you name the car parts under the hood.
We can’t do nothing but I’d seriously want the current government to actually educate themselves on these devices before trying to implement bans
Anything except make social media corporations actually police & be responsible their content.
Rex Banner to the rescue!
Id be completely fine with this. Social media should definitely be restricted for minors.
Best of luck with that Simon. Let us know when you’ve figured out how to get the toothpaste back in the tube .
Yes good idea
And how will it be enforced?
I’m I the only one that thinks Drugs and anti social behaviour should be a bigger issue when it comes to youth. The goverment has usual always has screwed priorities it seems.
Hahaha good luck with that.
Why 16. Ban them entirely and let’s be done with it. Absolutely useless platforms that offer no value and only exists to sell info about you
