A Social Media Ban For Minors Requires Data From Everyone
Authored by Luke Nelson and Mike Campbell via The Epoch Times,
In debating a social media ban for minors, it appears we face a choice between two perceived harms.
One is the reported damage that social media is doing to the mental health of children and adolescents.
The other is the normalization of mass age verification systems—most likely involving biometrics—that would apply to everyone, not just minors.
This carries real risks of privacy invasion, data breaches, and future mission creep.
There is little dispute that many Western countries have experienced a rise in youth mental health problems beginning around 2010–2012 (when Smartphones and social media exploded). Anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide rates among adolescents, particularly girls, have increased dramatically since this period. There is disagreement, however, not over whether these spikes exist, but whether they can be attributed specifically to social m...

Telegram Founder Warns UK Social Media Ban Is Digital Iceberg About To Sink The Free Internet
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity,
Telegram founder Pavel Durov told the Freedom Forum audience in Oslo that Western societies have already struck the iceberg and started sinking - yet most citizens remain in their cabins, convinced the ship of personal freedoms is unsinkable.
His remarks arrive precisely as Keir Starmer's government rams through a social media ban for under-16s that functions as the perfect pretext for mandatory digital ID, device-level scanning on every phone, and the practical elimination of anonymous speech online.
The policy is dressed in the familiar language of child protection. In practice it requires every major platform to verify ages with facial scans, passports or credit card data. What starts as a restriction on minors rapidly becomes a national system of internet passports.
Encrypted messaging apps currently sit outside the ban, but the same Online Safety Act frame...
