How many children actually have any kind of ID? A passport maybe.

Good point, but adults will. I think that the way it will work is that anyone unable to prove they're over 18 won't be allowed onto sites not appropriate for children.

I can understand your cynicism as this has been promised in the past and not followed through.
I have met Dame Melanie Dawes and she is a very determined woman who now has the backing of the law requiring the protection of children.

A doctor on ITV reported yesterday morning that by the age of 11 91% of kids have a smartphone and that 40% of these will be classified as overweight/obese.
He blames this on mindless eating whilst looking at a screen so that they do not recognise when they are full.
Something else for parents to think about.

There are lots of threads that I have no interest in on here, so I just ignore them and hope that those participating have an enjoyable & fruitful discussion.
I certainly don't go in and start making negative remarks. Just ignore it and use your time interacting on those that you do find interesting if you have no interest in the attempts being made to protect the vulnerable/children.

Re: Online Safety Bill
There is absolutely zero chance that the adult (voting) public will entertain such an invasion on their privacy as to “prove” their age to every website that might host content unsuitable for children.
Kids are fat because their parents keep them inside. A consequence of the last curtain twitching crusade that would have you believe that every public space is crawling with paedophiles so it’s safer to lock up kids with an Xbox.

There’s a reason it’s been promised in the past and then subsequently not followed through on. Do you know why this is the case ?

Re: Online Safety Bill
I do find this topic quite interesting but also comical at the same time.
Children over the age of 13 will have to show evidence of their age. What kind of ID? Their Hotwheels drivers license?
Adults (and children) proving their ID with all the security leaks these days, not a chance of that happening.
They'll be no anonymous accounts.. Goodbye Reddit etc.
If you watch porn and the site get hacked, then you're open for blackmail.
Ban VPNs? Well good luck with that.
All what's going to happen in 2025 is the usual statement 'Delayed... Pushed back... Blah blah blah'

So…completely unworkable? We’ve been saying that from the start. I don’t know what the right answer is but I certainly know what it isn’t.

Re: Online Safety Bill
Richard Madely was on yesterday's 'This Morning' promoting a fictional book he's written about a girl who is targeted by an internet troll. It affects her so much that she goes on to commit suicide.
I'm torn as to what I think about this. On the one hand it's probably based on the real life events of the children who ended up killing themselves that was mentioned earlier so could be viewed as crass, insensitive and opportunistic.
On the other hand it may draw attention to the issue to people who might not have been aware of these tragedies.

It's a plot, it's current, and I'm sure it's not the main part of the story either. To look into it too deeply without reading it seems a bit pointless.

It's all about making money for the author unless this book is based on fact and is there to educate based on facts. If it is based on facts then it will have a list of subject matter used by the author to support the facts. But as this is fictional then it is there to make money end of.

If its fictional it can't be based on actual events. Real events could possibly have influenced the writer a bit or given him an idea but that's probably all it is

Re: Online Safety Bill
Meanwhile….. a bit of common sense ?
On Tuesday Saqib Bhatti, the technology minister, told a Westminster Hall debate: “We are aware of the ongoing debate regarding the age at which children should have a smartphone. We recognise the risks that technology such as smartphones pose, but I would argue that a ban would not necessarily achieve the outcome we wish.
“The decision on whether a child should have access to a smartphone should not be one for government.”
