Re: Online Safety Bill
The first feature in this programme looks at the research being done to monitor the brains of teenagers with internet addiction:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct5t8n
These studies show that the brains of teenagers are different to teenagers who have a healthy use of the internet.
This programme looks at a group of 5 teenagers who agreed to give up their smartphones for five schooldays. There were some surprising results:

Re: Online Safety Bill
Again what does that have to do with the actual title and topic of the thread?

Re: Online Safety Bill
Writing in the New York Times, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said social media increased the risk that children would experience symptoms of anxiety and depression. He wants people who visit these platforms to be shown a message warning that they are "associated with significant mental health harms for adolescents".

Ofcom and our legislators are concerned about the effect that smartphones & social media are having on children. Children are the priority of Ofcom as the Online Safety Act takes effect. They are looking at the various reports & evidence that are being brought to their attention to help them decide what to do next regarding the problems associated with social media and the excessive time spent on the internet.

Re: Online Safety Bill
But that is not related to an online safety bill?
Excessive use is totally different.

Harm caused by the internet, howsoever it's caused, is all part of the same issue.
I find it odd that you've taken it upon yourself to try and police this particular thread, particularly when admin have said in the past that it is not for members to decide what is and isn't on or off topic and that posts shouldn't be reported for this.
Your time would be much better spent discussing ways to protect children from harm or putting forward your views about any suggestions or ideas put forward by experts, parents, elected representatives etc.

My time is my own do do as a so wish.
However if you want my response then just take all smart phones away from under 16s and make social media require proof of age with some sort of online passport system. Or just block kids from accessing those sites at all.
If they aren't trusted to make informed decisions before certain ages, much liking drinking, gambling, smoking or voting, then why should they be allowed to access to places that may contain things 'harmful' to them.

Perhaps a large cage with a lot of woodshavings a water bowl and natural food with timer for the lights and how about a exercise wheel . That should do the job

You are not staff here either, so stop trying to backseat moderate.
You were told here to keep on topic [last week], do so, or action will be taken.

Re: Online Safety Bill
Following considerations requested by various parties to the previous Government and the new Government, the King's Speech is expected to announce a strengthening of the Online Safety Act.
One such change involves cases where bereaved parents demand access to data to help them understand what their child was looking at before taking their own lives.
At the moment they don't have a legal right to this information and website owners have responded by being deliberately awkward and protracting matters, outright refusing the request altogether or even telling them that the data has been deleted.
No indication has been made that a duty of candour on website owners will be required as requested. If it isn't pressure will continue to be put on legislators by the various individuals and groups fighting for a safer Internet.
This would make it an offence for website owners to impede, frustrate or delay, for example, a coroners investigation.
At the moment the attitude seems to be that of, we don't have to help, so we won't and if we do decide to, we'll make it as difficult as we possibly can.
No doubt they will complain about more regulation being imposed on them, but this could have been avoided had they had a professional & decent attitude and been humane towards those who have already suffered enough.

Re: Online Safety Bill
I wondered when this would get updated now we have a new government.
