UK bans social media and YouTube for under 16 y/o. Bluesky and Hive probably not included in the ban. VPNs becoming useless?
UK führt eine verpflichtende Alterskontrolle für Social Media ein und verbietet den Zugang für unter 16 Jährige.
Kritiker sehen darin, nicht nur eine Jugendschutzmaßnahme, sondern vor allem das Ende der Anonymität im Internet kommen. KYC durch die Hintertür. Vor allem, wenn man seine Meinung im Internet postet, wird man das nicht mehr so einfach anonym machen können. Eine Gefahr für die Meinungsfreiheit.
Betroffen sind Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook und X, aber auch YouTube soll für unter 16 Jährige verboten werden. Das ist heftig.
Die genaue Liste liegt noch nicht vor, aber höchst wahrscheinlich wird es eine Ausnahme für kleinere Webseiten geben. Nicht jeder Blog und jede Nachrichtenseite wird die Alterskontrolle implementieren müssen.
Nach aktuellem Stand dürfte Bluesky, Mastodon und Hive von dem Ban in UK nicht betroffen sein. Die Plattformen sind noch nicht groß genug.
Fraglich ist auch, ob man die Bans in Zukunft mit VPNs umgehen kann. Die Alterskontrolle soll auf Betriebssystem-Ebene implementiert werden, ein VPN wäre dann vielleicht nutzlos. In Zukunft wird man das Smartphone jailbreaken müssen und VPNs nutzen, um diese ganzen Sperren umgehen zu können.
Leider plant auch die EU und einige Staaten in den USA Ähnliches.
Was sagt ihr dazu?
Under-16s will be banned from social media in UK from early 2027

BBC: When will social media ban start, and which apps will be affected?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ceqdny4l3jdo
English
The UK is introducing mandatory age verification for social media in order to ban access for under 16 y/o.
Critics see this not only as a measure to protect minors, but above all as the end of anonymity on the internet. KYC through the back door. Especially when posting one's opinion online, it will no longer be so easy to do so anonymously. A threat to freedom of speech in my opinion.
Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X are affected, but YouTube is also set to be banned for users under 16. That’s a big deal.
The exact list isn’t available yet, but there will most likely be an exception for smaller websites. Not every blog and news site will have to implement age verification.
As things stand, Bluesky, Mastodon and Hive are unlikely to be affected by the ban in the UK. The platforms aren’t big enough yet.
It’s also unclear whether VPNs will be able to bypass these bans in the future. Age verification is supposed to be implemented at the operating system level, so a VPN might be useless. In the future, you’ll have to jailbreak your smartphone and use VPNs to get around all these restrictions.
Unfortunately, the EU and some states in the US are planning similar measures.
What do you think?
I think it sucks, but I think it is something a lot of places are considering. I think its an overreach.

instead of banning the entire platform they should probably ask the platforms to build some sort of filters like Youtube Kids (not that is perfect) but Im referring to the concept, although this companies dont want to because its all revenue, the other problem is that real education comes from home and I know there are many kids that are not been supervise by their parents at all (not everyone) and I get some of their angles other than silencing or supressing ppl its also about protecting kids from bad actors if this platforms dont build their own filters, obviously this is probably a very narrow way of looking at things but its the first though that comes to my mind 😅, thx for sharing
Also had a similar idea, solution for child safety, alternative to ban, just add a kids/teen mode on the OS, browser, social media level, that parents can activate, no need to ID and age check everybody then.

Suppressing the voice inside going 'wtf' right now. Can't say I'm surprised, with the way UK has been going these last few years. What a shame. As for how we'll manage, I think it's in our nature to persevere, to find a way to exist even under terrible oppression and censorship
One thing I find more worrying in these cases is the people who will rejoice at a certain individual being targeted. Elon, in this case. This growing narrow-mindedness that makes people blind to the fact that any censorship or oppression, targeting anyone is criminal and sets a dangerous precedent.
Hive is not safe for kid's

In my opinion, it is better to filter the contents inside those social media instead of banning the usage and access to the social media as a whole

Wenn ich kir anschaue welcher Scheiß da teilweise verbreitet wird, dann schon verstädlich.
Gab ja so die eine oder andere Challange, die gefährlich war und Kids mitgemacht haben.
Fällt mir Spontan die Salz/Eis Challange auf der haut ein oder ob jemand es Schafft diese Arielpods it den Zähnen zum Platzenbzu bekommen.
Und wie soll man das nunmal ohne kyc hinbekommen? Da gabs glaube schon so einige Ansätze die alle nichts geworden sind.
Das alles begründet noch keine Abschaffung der Meinungsfreiheit. Mit Deinem Argument könnte man jedes diktatorische Regime, auch das in Nordkorea rechtfertigen.
Wo ist das denn Abschaffung der Meinungsfreiheit? Das ist bullschitt, kannst du auf die Straße gehen und deine Meinung sagen? Kannst du dass in Foren, auf X, Facebook........
Ja kannst du.
Und selbst bei der Meinungsfreiheit gibt es grenzen! Schon mal Artikel 5 Gelesen?
Schade kanns hier ja nicht farblich markieren.
Du möchtest also das weiterhin Kinder unbehäligt belestigt werden, zu Sachen animiert werden, die für Wie schädlich gar tödlich sind?
Das Kinder also auch nicht in die Disco Nachts dürfen ist also auch falsch oder?

Ist ein Dilemma, denke es ist mehr die Aufgabe der Eltern sich um die Internet-Nutzung der Kids zu kümmern, generell YouTube für Teenager zu verbieten, halte ich auch nicht für so sinnvoll, da es auf Social Media auch nützlichen Content gibt. Vielleicht würde ein Teen Mode genügen, den Eltern am Handy aktivieren könnten, anstatt KYC und Alterskontrollen für alle einzuführen.
Richtig, es wäre Aufgabe der Eltern und es gibt auch viele Apps, aber leider inzeressieren sich zu wenige dafür, haben keine Ahnung wie genau sie was machen könnten....
Tja und die Jugendlichen/Kids wissen leider auch schnell wie sie manches Umgehen können.
Es gibt ja auch viele Jugendliche die zwei Accounts haben, eins von dem die Eltern wissen und ein weiteres.
Es gibt ja sowas wie Tenagermode, es Gibt apps, mit denen Eltern installation von Apps genehmigen müssen und vieles mehr. Aber tja bringt nichts wenn es etwas nur gibt, aber nicht genutzt wird.
