Got a bit ranty on a chat thread elsewhere yesterday when some were arguing for social media age-gates and the like.

Summarized here into a blog post.

The Age-Gate Rant

The kids are not okay, and lots of people seem to think it’s the kid’s phones and social media that’s doing it so lets simply ban kids from social media.

Simple!

Only: it doesn’t sound very simple to me.

Thanks for this. I'm going to send this link to my MP. You've said everything I wanted to say to him but better than I could have said it.
