No ID Checks for Web Access

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.

I’m so ashamed …

This week, the UK Home Secretary proposed shocking #asylum reforms that could seize the possessions and jewellery of people seeking #safety, cut off their support and tear apart #families who have built their lives here.
