Sigh! Once again they are pushing something they don't understand the impact of.

It sounds great on paper, they can pretend they have done something. The reality is, the overreaching age gating they enforced, resulted in a lot of parents needing to set stuff to adult settings, because like this, the government doesn't have a clue what they are doing

Isn’t this something already implemented on Apple devices a few years ago? Where potentially sensitive images received are blocked until reviewed by a parent.
Not sure why this has ended up preferable to a smartphone ban for under 16? Surely we could decide to sell dumber devices that allow communication without internet and image sharing / capture?
