I wonder what UK thinks about private social media or a model similar to the one I've tried to create with nanogram.

Kids get all the benefits of social media and have a creative outlet, and also a parent, trusted operator, or even the kid maintains control of the platform.

Making user-to-user apps banned seems like a giant overstep and inconsiderate.

So, it really looks like we should ban most social media via regulatory controls _INSIDE_ their offices.

Instead, we're just trying to avoid focus on realistic regulatory concerns for global oligarchs.

Are uk citizens actually going to provide an ID though after it's in effect? Surely there is a tipping point where people actually don't value the platforms enough to do these things.

so 4chan always used "((()))" for their racism. Perhaps we need to implement Postgresql $$$oligarchs$$$ around things that are clearly being implemented because doing the right thing would bother $$$them$$$.
