The move was due to fears that messaging functions on the platforms allowed strangers to groom children, according to the newspaper. It suggested similar reselling platforms, Depop and Facebook Marketplace, would also be included in the list of banned sites.

I don't even know what to say to this LOL.

A 15 year old isn't a child.

Trans kids are hurt by measures that block them from finding community and help online that are blocked irl for them.

    Fully agree. Their excuses are straight up propaganda based on the government themself manipulating the masses.

    The fact is, if both points where respected we wouldnt be in the situation we are now. Its quite sad to be seeing autonomous people being forcefully stripped off their rights, identity and everything.
