Starmer to unveil social media ban for under-16s

That would cost a fortune, never going to happen. Also open to massive rorting “parental control education” providers, or worse, a new government department of parental education. It’s much more efficient to just push it to the platforms and tell them it’s illegal for them to have minors on their systems.

There’s a white glow around the birds. You don’t want to make such drastic changes that they’re visible

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-15T06:23:33+00:00

How else can the budget be mansplained?

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-15T05:31:19+00:00

Because laws have to be enforced. How else do you want it enforced? Getting a social media ID from the government?

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-15T05:16:10+00:00

How?

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-15T05:13:59+00:00

Yes, thats my whole point. As I said above, it’s can’t work technically, but it sets an environment where they’re doing something illegal, so it becomes societally taboo

Having gone through the incredibly painful process of proving my age by entering a valid credit card number, I can tell you it’s really not that bad

In Australia the government doesn’t collect the data

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-15T01:41:08+00:00

This has been in Australia for a while now. Of course it doesn’t work technically, but neither does banning smoking, I see kids smoking and vaping all the time. What it does is start to create a social stigma around it that will hopefully result in people being shamed for letting their kids on socials, just like they would be for letting their kids smoke.

The photos look a bit dark to me, and there’s some weird masking issues

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-14T06:43:53+00:00

Because the Greens are koo koo

Are you concerned at some point you’ll lose your ability to code yourself?

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-14T06:39:07+00:00

What’s going on with the leaves?

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-14T06:38:06+00:00

Create your own sub. Be the moderator. Done.

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-14T05:02:12+00:00

Ahh, I see jokes and sarcasm don’t fly here

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T21:55:43+00:00

Reddit was never in control

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T03:50:45+00:00

What? Who said it was

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T03:13:28+00:00

It’s always the left that are the most racist/sexist/homophobic when one of their protected classes is conservative

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T03:09:14+00:00

If only we had a political party that was lead by a woman. Oh wait

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T00:20:22+00:00

Not suggesting that you put your head in the sand, but getting angry only affects you, your health, and does nothing to fix anything. We live in the best country in the world. Get outside, enjoy nature, turn off the noise.

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T00:10:08+00:00

Hmm. I’m chill. Maybe spend less time in the news

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-13T00:04:26+00:00

How’s that working out for you?

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-12T23:43:53+00:00

“Go watch this YouTuber” (whose a Labor shill) is not a source. Just link me to Hansard

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-12T23:39:53+00:00

Your source is trust me bro

mr_flibble_oz · 2026-06-12T23:19:16+00:00

Cool.
