“A social media ban for u16s is a displacement activity. I think it makes us feel better - but won’t necessarily have much effect," Lewis Goodall. Is banning social media for u16s really the answer - or should we be looking more closely at the power tech companies have?

We’ve sleepwalked into a screen-addicted childhood, it doesn’t have to be this way. Children as young as 4 should not be doing assessments on screens. We must ban smartphones in schools, bring back pen & paper for exams & ban social media for u16s. Labour are asleep at the wheel.

Should we ban the over 65s from social media? The government are considering banning the elderly from social media as their brains haven't properly developed. But is a ban a step too far?

Another great win in the Lords today. Peers have once again backed a social media ban for u16s by a huge margin. Labour MPs will now have a third chance to do the right thing and vote for a ban on Wednesday.

Today’s ban on social for u16s is the moral expression of a simple value: we are giving our children their childhoods back.

So Twitch has now been added as a ‘last minute’ addition to the Social Media Ban for U16s. But 18+ Material will be still totally fine… This isn’t about helping, or the protecting the kids, it’s about control

NSA Ajit Doval saab on information warfare and social media narrative control: 📍 Be the first respondents on social media. The trash narrative comes within 4 hours, dominate it with truth. 📍 We don't have a lack of PATRIOTS. We need to counter social media through social media itself. Some people ask if the govt should make laws for this. While there are laws for threats to life and security, simply suppressing voices on social media can often have a more negative effect. It is better to engage and let the truth counter the falsehoods through the people themselves.

These Jewish leaders have been subjected to endless hate on social media. People hide behind the anonymity of social media comments, but they have a profound impact on those they are directed at. Social media companies should be more proactive to protect Jews online.

Thrilled Peers have once again done the right thing & backed a ban on social media for u16s by a huge margin. If Labour MPs want change they will now have a second chance to do the right thing and vote for a ban. I will keep fighting to protect childhood and back parents.

🚨ZUCK: We had organizations looking into us that weren't even involved in Social Media. We had the CFPB looking after us. I didn't even know what that is. It's some financial institution that Elizabeth Warren set up. We're not a bank, what does Meta have to do with this? They came up with some theory and were trying really hard to make it work. I don't know how this stuff works -- is it a directive? A quiet consensus? It's tough to be at the other end of that. The US Government should be defending its companies, not at the tip of the spear attacking its companies. The EU has fined the tech companies more thsn $30B over the last 10-20 years. This is a EU wide policy for how they want to deal with tech, it's kind of like a tariff. The US Government led the attacks against their companies which gave permission for the EU and other countries to go after US companies as well. I think that the American tech industry is a bright spot in the US economy, it's a strategic advantage, and it should be part of the US' strategy going forward to defend that. I am optimistic about that with Trump, I think he just wants the US to win. At least in the US we have rule of law, you get your day in court, and we usually win, but other countries don't have that. If the US wants to remain strong, the US has to have a role in defending their tech."

Stephanie White spoke extensively on the hate her players (and other W players) have faced: “We in the media have to do a better job of not allowing trolls in social media to become the story. I feel like we have allowed trolls in social media to frame the narrative of what the story is. And it’s unacceptable.”

Another huge win in the Lords for a social media ban for u16s. Despite massive x-party support, Labour voted against action now & put forward a plan that does not require the Gvt to take any action for 3 years. It is not good enough, Labour must come forward with a serious plan.

Instead of doing the right thing, X is fighting for their right to show alleged terrorist content. There’s no place in social media for harmful and violent content and social media companies have a social responsibility.
