“Grossly disproportionate” is the phrase you’re looking for.

The next stage of implementing the Online Safety Act will be in July when age verification measures come into force.

The Technology Secretary has confirmed he is considering further measures to make the internet safer for children, this may include time limits to restrict access to social media by blocking their access after 10pm and during school hours.

Ian Russell (who lost his daughter due to online abuse) and others say that this doesn't go far enough and urge the Government be tougher & go further

People mustn't think for or are look after them self's, mummy must hold your hand at all times

Pornhub banned in France due to age verification. Obviously VPN demand jumps 1,000% after Pornhub pulls out of France... Says it all. All pointless. (Pun not intended).

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

They are also considering a max two hour screen time.

These measures, if introduced, would only apply to children, not adults.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Those measures, if introduced, would be as utterly unenforceable as all the rest of it.

Nothing, hence the unenforcable bit.

I'm sorry he lost his child, but frankly its time he shut his gob and stopped trying to control what everyone else does.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Seconded.

Wasn't online abuse by others. She actively sought out certain content. Her mindset was there already.

Nothing, but why would you want your child to be on social media instead of learning at school or getting to sleep at a reasonable time?

The salient point being made is that his child ended up dead as a result of inappropriate internet content/encouragement.

This blatant fact went straight over your head as you look to constantly disagree with what anyone says both on & off this forum, coupled with a large dose of non empathy.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Nobody encouraged her. The thoughts were there BEFORE looking for any content. That is the salient point.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

If they are at school, they are not on SM during lessons. If they are asleep, you are not on anything, and "reasonable time" is subjective.

That's pure unproven speculation.

Its not a "blatent fact" at all. Its time you learned to seperate facts from assumptions & speculation.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Point being made is she was already thinking about that and sought out content about it. Not viewing the content likely would NOT have changed the outcome. That's the blatant point. Controlling others is not the answer here.
