RE: UK Government Trying to BAN Under 18s from Being Able to Like Posts on Facebook and Instagram

This is an interesting article, I cant however decide how I feel about it. On the one hand I also do feel like children are overexposed, but I actually dont think this will help

In the one hand, we do need to protect children more and I think everyone would agree that's a good thing, however, it's a fine line between making the internet safer and heavily regulating it. Hopefully, some more reasonable protections get thought of instead of just outright telling people what they can and can't do.

For me, the most dangerous part is the government getting to determine what exactly is harmful or hateful as that's widely open to interpretation and abuse to silence critics as we've already seen.

Thanks for checking out the article! :)
