    Let me get this straight. You would vote for any other party, which equates to reform getting in and doing an unimaginable amount of damage to the country, because labour has banned YouTube, tiktok, Snapchat and Facebook for kids?

      I would write to my MP that I would vote for any other party to make it clear this is an issue. I am not saying all other parties are adcAequally good.

      It’s difficult to tell if you’re being sincere when you phrase what I see as a problem of mass surveillancep&r

        I know what you said, you said you would go torched earth if labour don’t drop the bill to protect kids from bad sites. You would vote for anyone else, which is essentially hanging the towel and letting reform win. First past the post and all that.

        You’re under the impression we don’t already have massive surveillance? I know you know we do, the only difference is we don’t have any of the perks of it, such as stopping kids from accessing highly damaging content online.

          A party that won’t fix the issue of FPTP with a proportional voting system are the ones who do not want my vote over other parties. Perhaps you too should speak to your MP about that, instead of blaming me for others getting into power. I will no longer vote for who I don’t want to merely keep another party out. Deal with it.

        Age verification? What’s your point… voting for anyone else enables reform to get in which leads to America.

            I believe it is. The government capabilities of spying on its citizens doesn’t require it to have age verification lol… In any case, UK people can’t be spied on.

                What the heck is your point exactly? We shouldn’t have mass surveillance? But we already do… Have you seen how many cameras there are? Do you know DWP can access your internet history if they suspect benefit fraud? No warrant required… And that’s one of dozens of government departments that can just whip up your internet history…

                This isn’t some grand attempt at putting the final bit of the puzzle together… there are legitimately multiple generations of children who can’t read, accessing brain dead content that are turning into potatoes and becoming radicalised… Shall we just stop all attempts at preventing that because you’re worried about your privacy?
