I think you mean social media sites - children under 13 will not be banned from all websites at all, thats utter nonsense you have made up.

Also, again, you completely miss the point that it wont stop anyone.
Under 18's (16s in the past) have been banned from buying cigarettes (& Alcohol) for decades, its never stopped them getting either.

Yes like others laws passed really work don't they. No-one steals, speeds or murders since becoming illegal. Just another way for lawyers to make money 💰

I'm pretty sure that there's fewer murders, theft and speeding because of the laws against them. They're not there for the lawyers. The penalties act as deterrents, they can't prevent these situations entirely due to human nature.

I was speaking in the context of social media sites.

If by the use of this term they specifically mean sites like Facebook, Snapchat, etc and not all sites with user to user content, I wonder if there will be more children joining forums such as this one as an alternative??

Hopefully not, at times there’s already enough children on here……

I'm sure that some will try as it's always been the case that children have tried to do things that they're not supposed to, not just online, but things like drinking under age etc.

If they do manage to succeed they will have nothing to lose as it won't be them or their parents that get into trouble, it will be the site owners that cop for it.

If it wasn't against the law it would be legal, so questionable if it was recorded laws could be a lot simpler, politicians, a lot of whom are lawyers , don't choose to pass , if you do this the sentence is this , but add a lot of but ........ so back to passing this won't stop it happening. Which Richard clearly believes it will.

Re: Online Safety Bill

As the Online Safety Act is introduced, website owners have been given three months notice by Ofcom that they must ensure that their sites are compliant with their code of practice by next March:

The Act places new safety duties on social media firms, search engines, messaging, gaming and dating apps, and pornography and file-sharing sites.

Indeed and that is why i posted what i did. My site is not compliant and never will be. I think those that do use it which are friends and is invite only would kick up a stink if i changed it to compile with those who are offended on behalf of those they think should be offended but are not offended.

No one here is a mind reader, if you mean "social media sites" then you need to say so.
