"Don't ban social media!" Teens and parents reacted to the U.K.'s announcement of their proposed law to ban children under 16 from using platforms such as Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and X. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday that the U.K. would go even further than other nations by also blocking children from accessing "harmful functions" such as livestreaming and the ability to communicate with strangers, and by extending the restrictions to gaming sites. He said the ban would protect children from content that is "designed to be addictive."

Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, appeared on Piers Morgan’s show and said what too many politicians are afraid to say. She stated clearly that jihadists are members of a death cult. Their goal is to murder and to die as human sacrifices for Allah. They are not allies of Britain — and no amount of appeasement from Keir Starmer will ever change that.
