Within the space of 3 days it’s gone from “let’s stop kids watching choking porn” to “let’s stop kids listening to Taylor Swift”. Actual Mumsnet occupied government.
🚨 NEW: Under-16s in the UK could now be banned from Spotify, Lego Play and YouTube Kids under expanded Government proposals to widen the scope of its social media ban

MP banning so called “distractions” when the average House of Commons session looks like this:
School should be a place for learning and friendship, not scrolling.
That’s why I am strengthening the guidance to take the next step in truly phone-free schools, giving heads and teachers the clarity they are asking for.

🚨 UPDATE: David Walliams responds to the allegations
"Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with... I realise I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret.
"And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely and it is something that I never did...
“I am not a sexual predator... I have not broken the law... I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me"

It's just adult websites, do you want kids watching porn?
It's just social media, do you want kids being bullied?
It's just ... ebay and depop?
Yeah. Age verification was obviously never going to stop at the "bad" stuff and soon we're all going to be carded to buy used books
Carded before shopping on eBay? That could be a reality in the U.K. reason.com/2026/11/09/u-k-lo…
Elon deadnames his daughter but he and his loyalists demand you call Twitter by its preferred name…

I would like to make mention that the act of CPR requires pinching the recipient's nose and placing your mouth against theirs
We know logically that this is to give your breath to them, but any photographs and videos will only depict restricted airflow
your law bans CPR

“Horrific character attacks”
Yes. Because we live in a fucking democracy, you make decisions we can’t and we live with them.
Excuse the old mouth box…
My friend @Jess4Lowestoft is a hero and a champion for women and children’s safety every single day.
Disagree with her if you want, she can take it. But the horrific character attacks this week should give us all pause about what our politics has become
Proud of you Jess x

Free speech means defending the right to expression that is transgressive, taboo and unpopular - not just content approved by the state.
The government's rush to criminalise broadly defined categories of explicit content between consenting adults sets a dangerous precedent.
Such vague bans don't make the web safer; platforms over-censor out of legal fear, and ordinary users risk being flagged for ambiguous content.
History shows that state censorship mechanisms never stop at their initial target. Once the state grants itself unchecked powers to police "harmful" or "objectionable" content, reactionary forces will inevitably weaponise those exact mechanisms to censor LGBT+ resources, sex education, and dissenting speech.
