The problem is I don’t take their motives as genuine. We’ve seen with all these authoritarian measures it’s more about surveillance and control than ‘protecting the children’ that’s just the excuse.
‘
I feel like this online safety stuff is genuinely coming from a good place, I think that they do think they’re doing it for good reasons, but I think they’re just fundamentally not understanding how the internet works. It’s the easiest thing in the world to use a VPN to bypass this, I don’t think the government has actually consulted anyone in the tech industry to try and understand how it works.
Framing you being monitored or hindered as war on tech billionaires lol
Wherever there’s news about cracking down on big tech there’s immediately the talking point bots that show up within a few minutes to flood the comments with divisive talking points
‘Nothing is off the table, including giving them access to whatever they want with a complete tax exemption status,’ please our government bend over backwards to enable America. Useless talk he will never stand by.
Hes about to become public enemy no.1. We saw what happened to biden’s government when he targeted them. Good luck to him
He should have said that nothing is off the desktop
Then don’t allow Palantir access to UK data. Billionaires bad, unless they’re US mega-billionaires.
Declares war on tech billionaires the week after giving Palantir unprecedented access to our data.
Sure.
Starmer isn’t doing this for the children, he is doing for control. Social media is harmful yes, but once again this is on the parents of children allowing them access to social media. If Starmer wanted protect children he’d work towards getting the cost of living across the UK down, so parents can spend more time with their children.
It is also important to acknowledge that these bans on social media will not work, a vast majority of tech experts agree with this; instead we should be aiming to educate parents on protocols such as router level filtering and monitoring apps to ensure their kids aren’t at risk when using the net.
U16 shouldn’t have smart phones, let alone social media. But government banning is not the way to achieve that, or really very much in society for that matter. Just another example of an authoritarian government removing people’s ability to choose, and make there own decisions, then they wonder why everybody is sucking on the tax payers coffers like there mothers teets
I bet the expropriation of their wealth isn’t on the table.
Rent prices are through the roof, there is a housing crises and this guy is talking about tech billionaires? You cant make this up
Wow, what fighting words, I look forward to him doing barely anything practical
I’ll believe it when his ministers get off X and they stop giving contracts to Palantir. Otherwise it’s still a war but he’s on their side.
Ah yes, giving big tech more of our data is a really, really good way to fight the tech billionaires. I wonder what our Messiah will choose to do next
Nothing is off the table, but not the table they’re sitting at.
So Palantir is on the table? Cos we never seem to talk about those deals
While having made deals with Palantir? Hah, there has to be quite a bit of verifiable action before labour should get any praise.
Yeah right Keir. He has been in the pocket of US Big Tech from day one. He was going to have the same people implement digital IDs. Not a chance that he will do anything meaningful here. Just like windfall taxes, wealth taxes etc. Joke of a man.
More big brother posturing. Fuck off with your surveillance state bullshit, Kier.
Until you tax the ever-loving fuck out of them I won’t believe it
War on tech billionaires… Meanwhile forcing true id disclosure so those tech companies advertiser’s can get an idea of how many real customers are around in a sea of llm beep boops
He has my interest.
Though I’d rather he’d put the boot into rogue billionaires from the start rather than single mums and trans folk, who seemed further up his shnit list
Why are people so willing to give up there privacy and freedom. You already verify your identity with the service provider. And age restriction with these providers is on by default. At least in my case for broadband and mobile
Expect the anti Starmer posts to be pushed very heavily
“nothing is off the table” except their stupid porn ban doesn’t even work on google images lol
I’m sure if he tries it he’ll soon find himself on the end of some scandal where his past “discrepancies” will then be blown up in the media to preposterous levels that’ll force him to “step down”. Nothing to do with the media owning Billionaires though!
Of course for those who don’t know – he raised his kids as vegetarians until they were ten years old, then they were “given the option” to eat meat, so that was nice of him.
And he views us much the same way right? Like he raised me as someone who is not allowed to view Rule34 at the age of 30. And he’s doing it for our benefit you see, he truly cares. I wonder if Lord Starmer will allow me to eat meat in the future, it is his choice after all.

Nothing? Good.
Let’s start talking treason and capital punishment.
Maybe stop pushing bills like the Online ~~Surveillance~~ Safety Act on their behalf then?
Good if you want access to the 70 million people of the UK you bloody follow our rules
