It’s called the Dunning–Kruger effect.
This thread has generally been going around in circles for months and months with updates occasionally popping up followed by inconvenient questions largely ignored and conversations attempted to be controlled.

Re: Online Safety Bill
So what's the worse that can happen... Kids go searching for sites without these checks? Find dodgy unsecured sites that are infected or something. To give out all your information to who ever asks now as it'll be normal. I don't know where it'll end but I can't see it being for the greater good. Sounds like the start of a very slippery slope.

Might actually end up being an incentive for children to upgrade their IT literacy.

There's always going to be that nerdy geek in the playground that can circumvent any restriction on their mobile and then sell the "secret" to their class mates for money. You know, the Musks of the world.

Judging by the link above, what I understand is if they (sites) say sod off, they'd be fined, up to 10% of their revenue. And if they don't pay up that site will then be banned in the UK. ISPs will have to block them. Everyone will just use a vpn if things get that bad. And in about 20 years (or less) we will all have to get the same hair style /cut too.

TikTok is to be banned in the US from Sunday if it is not sold by its Chinese parent company, the Supreme Court has ruled.
However, President Joe Biden has said he will not enforce the ban for the few remaining hours he is in office, leaving it up to Donald Trump to decide what to do when he enters the White House on Monday.
