dagPresumably Mastodon is not on the under-16 ban for if someone can work out how to set up a Mastodon account, they also would easily be able to circumvent any security settings.
James Frew@davidallengreen I'm interested for when the UK gov publishes an actual list of what is/isn't included. They've already noted WhatsApp and 'messaging services' wouldn't be — so how are they defining it.
Simon newslttrs.com@jimjamfroo_ @davidallengreen whatever the Home Secretary of the day feels like. Same as defining terrorists.
@spzb @davidallengreen I'm sure you're probably right. But it's interesting that they're already ruled out 'messaging apps' and I look forward to the comms around this going in circles trying to explain the difference between a messaging app and everything else. Spotify allows you to send messages and have a public profile; messaging or social media?
