Re: Online Safety Bill
The Prime Minister spoke about the Online Safety Act a few times in an interview from two days ago:

He also said that his children didn't get a smartphone until their last year of primary school.

Excellent
There are plenty of people bleating on about this,thankfully they are not the ones who make the laws and those who do make the laws see this as unworkable and costly to implement even if they tried. It will go the way of the dodo eventually.

Yes, but who would they be able to vote for to achieve this. All the political parties appear to be as woke as each other!

Re: Online Safety Bill
The mental health of MP's is being impacted by incessant trolling on top of the pressures of the job, so much so that one member of Parliament tried to take his own life.
Quote:
The programme reveals shocking testimony including one former government minister who tells us ‘Politics has left me a broken human being.’ A young MP describes attempting to take his own life, revealing to the BBC that he is not alone.
This programme asks whether the mental health crisis is affecting MPs' ability to govern. Many say it does, and that good people are simply being driven out or away from public life.
