Also for the grandparents, aunts, uncles, carer, guardians….
This will not make comfortable reading but I thought it was important to highlight this story, in the light of my position on the UK Government’s Online Safety Bill.
I am for any actions that work to stop Big Tech ignoring or “tech papering over” issues like this:
TikTok self-harm study results ‘every parent’s nightmare’ | TikTok | The Guardian
But against the compromising of personal freedoms and privacy, in the name of child safety – such as adding backdoors to end-to-end encryption so “authorised organisations” can know what anyone is doing, both the guilty and the innocent. Get a court order to monitor the suspects against whom you have evidence that will stand up in court.
