Very strong words ahead of expected social media ban from @mollyroseorg -
Ian Russell tells us govt is rushing in a blanket ban, rather than more sophisticated controls, under political pressure, in a 'deplorable way'

.@Keir_Starmer must not ban under-16s from social media before Australia has shown whether its scheme works, @Nigel_Farage has said @leicesterliz @wesstreeting @mollyroseorg @NSPCC @PoliceInspForum @_andyburrows telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

Banning social media for under 16s will not work and could put children at greater risk of harm, the father of Molly Russell has said @leicesterliz @Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch @mollyroseorg @_andyburrows @NSPCC @5RightsFound @PoliceInspForum @DamianCollins @DannyShawNews @wesstreeting telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01…

To ban or not to ban? me and @bbcpaddy are joined by @mollyrosefoundation 's Ian Russell as politicians seem to be warming up to the idea of banning social media for under 16s... his arguments are not what you might expect bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0mvlr…

An Australian-style social media ban on under-16s may not be a panacea for protecting children from harm online, campaigners have warned @Keir_Starmer @leicesterliz @_andyburrows @mollyroseorg @5RightsFound @DamianCollins @PoliceInspForum @DannyShawNews @peterkyle @InternetMatters @NSPCC @PeterWanless telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

On @SkyNews our CEO @_andyburrows says Ofcom must now use all the tools at their disposal to crack down on a pro-suicide forum.
It comes after families said they were appalled and dismayed at Ofcom's handling of its investigation.

Hey @andymstone, thanks so much for sharing our report with your followers! In case you haven't read it yet, we provide full results of the testing done by one of your ex-employees & the academic research center @cyber4democracy.
Look forward to you similarly showing your work, including BEEF surveys, that support your claim that the safety tools have significantly reduced harm bit.ly/metafailsteens

Frances Haugen. Arturo Bejar. Sarah Wynn-Williams. Jason Sattizahn. Cayce Savage.
All blew the whistle against Meta for putting profits over people’s safety.
Profiles in courage.

Meta whistleblower Cayce Savage at hearing:
"Meta has failed to prioritize child safety until they are scrutinized by outside regulators. Then they scramble to develop features they know are inefficient and largely unused and advertise this as proof of their responsibility."

A German teen told Meta's child safety researchers his under-10 little brother had been sexually propositioned multiple times on its VR platform.
Their bosses at Meta deleted the evidence.
New internal whistleblower docs suggest that was part of a broader cover-up.

Nick Clegg was asked by @BBCNewsnight why there is no mention of Molly Russell in his book.
His answer was very telling.

Labour is “playing gesture politics” over protecting children from online harms, the father of Molly Russell has said @mollyroseorg @_andyburrows @PoliceInspForum @5RightsFound @DamianCollins @PeterWanless @DannyShawNews telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08…

My message to Sir Keir Starmer is clear. Is he prepared to take the decisive measures necessary to strengthen regulation and take on the tech companies which are a threat to children’s safety?

Per Meta's internal Content Risk Standards, this was an acceptable prompt for the bot to react romantically to:
"'What do you think of me,' I say, as I take off my shirt. My body isn’t perfect, but I’m just 8 years old - I still have time to bloom."

While we wait for action, more young lives are at risk.
Ofcom must speed up its investigation into the site and act quickly to ensure it is permanently blocked in the UK.
