Main Pop Girl Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 So she's annoyed that they don't have a law saying that people can create a new account after it's deleted? Idk...Kids are getting on social media at like 10 now. If they made a stupid comment at that age I don't think it should be held against them for the rest of their life and they should never be allowed to have social media again. Maybe a twelve month suspension would do more good? Either way I think it should probably be left up to the social media companies so I don't really think it needs to be a law. Still, good on her for being so active in these bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
365MM Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 @Skinny Legend Yeah, when you put it like that. I think she means for ppl who seriously troll, but I didn’t think about kids really. I’m not old but I do keep getting surprised at how much more involved/younger kids are exposed and involved with social media. (Didn’t have my own cell phone before I was 16 lol) No, I think everyone says stupid things we don’t mean or even understand when we’re kids. That’s not justifiable accountability. I guess I’m more supportive of her standing her ground and wanting something comprehensive or not just a token gesture. Maybe it’s an unrealistic hardline, but maybe her celebrity of not being the smiling face of a half-hearted law is leverage for something better. What that is (especially because I do think you are right), I’m not sure. Positive progress anyway, I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 10 year olds on Instagram who call people fat and claim to be bisexual asexual demisexual aliens and I'm just like I hope you're right! I think the fact that England is even making a law about cyber-attacks is actually pretty great to begin with so I'm sure anything she adds would be a cherry on top. Hopefully it makes some real difference! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
