I don't support the idea - and I know it won't happen - but from a tech perspective the idea that manufacturers will develop different product lines for the under 16s of the UK is wild. In reality (if such a bad idea were to happen) it's giving big tech companies biometric data and having differentiated services available on the device depending on who is logged in.
The entire population won't sign up to that, nor sign their children up to that. I recognise that a significant proportion of the population (myself included) do use fingerprint or facial recognition to unlock devices but the idea it would become mandatory is quite objectionable.

I remember people on here saying that the Online Safety Act would never pass into law. I urged people to put their objections forward to the consultation, but only one person confirmed that they had done so.
I've no idea if the Online Safety Bill will be amended to take account of this, my salient point is that it has been the subject of discussion every day since the petition was started. Most petitions don't get this much attention or coverage.
