Re: Online Safety Bill Etc

Anyone thinking about ending their own life who is searching out content of this nature should not be able to find DIY guides on the internet.

The algorithm would also note that they are interested in this subject and serve up even more content.

People should not be allowed to encourage people to commit suicide in forums, chatrooms etc without consequences.

That's pure unproven speculation.


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

Responsible parents would ensure that their child is at school and in bed at a reasonable hour, so restricting the hours when these activities should be taking place wouldn't affect them. It's the children of parents who, for various reasons, don't bring up their children responsibly that this legislation aims to protect (if it is actually introduced).

The Technology Secretary doesn't believe that legislation to ban mobile phones from schools altogether is necessary as most schools are dealing with this themselves.
