With growing debate over the role of online platforms and the government\u2019s approach to regulating content, Christys questions whether new restrictions could go too far and limit legitimate political debate and public discussion.<\/p>\n<p>GB News Contributor Will Kingston also reacts to comments from the Children\u2019s Commissioner, who has warned about an alleged \u201cobsession\u201d with violence among young people and the potential influence of social media. The discussion examines the growing political focus on online content, the responsibilities of social media companies and whether concerns about harmful material are being used to justify broader restrictions on what people can say and access online.<\/p>\n<p>#labour #southport #socialmedia <\/p>\n<p>Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS<\/p>\n<p>Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com\/friend<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patrick Christys BLASTS Labour for \u2018using Southport attack to SHUTDOWN free speech on social media&#8217; Go to https:\/\/piavpn.com\/GBNews&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[417],"tags":[473,64971,236,64970,64969,442,471,472,264,31,474,6848,247,475,42,4242,279,235],"class_list":["post-79210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gb-news","tag-analysis","tag-barking-up-the-wrong-tree","tag-breaking-news","tag-far-left-violence","tag-far-right-violence","tag-gb-news","tag-gb-news-live","tag-gbn","tag-labour","tag-news","tag-news-update","tag-patrick-christys","tag-politics","tag-reports","tag-social-media","tag-social-media-ban","tag-uk","tag-world-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@videos\/117118552189279672","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
