Nonsense. • There is ongoing discussion in the Irish parliament and policy circles about setting a digital age of consent or minimum age (e.g. 16) for social media access. This debate is driven by concern over youth wellbeing, although no formal law has yet been enacted. https://avpassociation.com/ireland/

>This debate is driven by concern over youth wellbeing I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you actually think thats what is motivating this

what do you think is motivating this?

Do you really think that protecting our children from the garbage on these platforms is contrary to free speech?

The fact is that these platforms are run for profit. They are not fit for purpose if they can be exploited to exploit children, and, for that matter to facilitate unelected billionaires to overthrow elected democracies.

If the UK actually had an issue with X, the PM would delete his account

I mean the PM doesnt run his X account, but besides ofcom are investigating and supposedly X are complying https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ceqz7pyd303o

Obviously - don't "but askshually". The PM has absolute authority over it and can direct anyone he likes to delete it, immediately
