In an open letter to the prime minister, Labour MPs said "successive governments" had done "too little to protect young people from... unregulated, addictive social media platforms".

They are focusing on the wrong thing. The problem is not young people access it, it the unregulated and addictive parts. Those affect everyone not just the young. Regulate the addictive behaviours of these platforms and protect everyone. Don't just force ages ineffective age verification that harms the privacy of everyone.

Originally I thought this was a good idea, but I've changed my mind.

Why are they not going after the tech bro social media companies spewing their shit?

Billionaires eh..

They ask. But will only give a shit about comments they personally benefit from.

IE ones that do not limit the billionaire owners bribing them.

Raising the current 13+ to 16+ would be fine. What I worry about is how they will enforce it.

Very long form to fill in, but I completed it.
