How many children actually have any kind of ID? A passport maybe.

Good point, but adults will. I think that the way it will work is that anyone unable to prove they're over 18 won't be allowed onto sites not appropriate for children.

I can understand your cynicism as this has been promised in the past and not followed through.
I have met Dame Melanie Dawes and she is a very determined woman who now has the backing of the law requiring the protection of children.

The Dark Net is often used by some people for illegal content such as paedophilia. David Cameron said that the National Security Council that he chairs has already made this a security priority

A doctor on ITV reported yesterday morning that by the age of 11 91% of kids have a smartphone and that 40% of these will be classified as overweight/obese.
He blames this on mindless eating whilst looking at a screen so that they do not recognise when they are full.
Something else for parents to think about.

There are lots of threads that I have no interest in on here, so I just ignore them and hope that those participating have an enjoyable & fruitful discussion.
I certainly don't go in and start making negative remarks. Just ignore it and use your time interacting on those that you
do find interesting if you have no interest in the attempts being made to protect the vulnerable/children.
