Wes Streeting, former UK health secretary, called for a ban on social media access for under-16s, comparing the industry to tobacco and accusing tech companies of dodging regulation. The government is closing its consultation on age limits for social media platforms and is expected to make a final decision within weeks.
How can an internet web site be harmful to one's health? That makes no sense. If a parent does not want their child to visit a particular website it is their responsibility to ensure that happens. They are the ones who provide devices and internet to their children.
Besides that when an internet user is faced with restrictions the first response is to find a workaround. That is why we download whatever we want for free. We work around copyright laws. We also buy drugs on the darknet. We work around the legal restrictions. Have to provide ID to watch porn then simply visit a lesser known alternative.
If you fall into any kind of addiction then that is too bad for you. End of.
