Kidron spoke to the Guardian before Friday’s deadline for online platforms – including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X and Google – to introduce child safety measures, and for pornography sites to bring in stringent age checking.

Responding to Kidron’s comments, a Department for Science, Innovation and Technology spokesperson said the new laws were a “foundation for a safer online world” but “we will not hesitate to go further if needed”.

Kyle said the child safety measures represented a “line in the sand” that would “reclaim the digital space for young people”.

Age-checking measures could also be required for social media sites that allow harmful content, such as X, the platform where young people were most likely to have seen pornography, according to research published by the children’s commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza.

THE Sun – what better name for a newspaper that rises each morning and brightens your day?

Owner Rupert Murdoch’s mission was simple: to challenge our more staid, ‘Establishment’ rivals with a more brash, populist approach – and attract young readers.

Huh.

It'll end up the same as the online safety act that's going to block Wikipedia and leave us with corrupt rag press to rely on while they spam daily transphobia lies in lieu of info or like that time the elderly tried to ban young people from driving because the elderly are fucking nuts and shouldn't drive, or ban flavored vapes. This nation is quickly becoming hell on earth the likes of Russia with crazy income inequality and bizarre draconian laws meant to break your very soul.
