once again trying to parse out what they actually mean and what rights they are proposing to take away from these fuck ass articles written from a 3rd hand game of telephone amongst people who all have no idea about the technology they're trying to regulate is driving me insane

"There will also be restrictions for older teenagers up to the age of 18 that prevent “scrolling” late at night – after 8.30pm."
taking this as read they want to put a curfew on 16-17 year olds - who they want to give the vote, and who can join the army, and legally live alone - for SCROLLING??
You can only view content that fits on one screen after 8:30pm? And in what world is that "late at night"? The teens need to get up at 4am for their milk rounds now?

Also "online products that are not covered by the ban – such as gaming apps – will face new restrictions such as having the option to chat to strangers removed"
I have no idea how a platform can distinguish "strangers" so I can only see this resulting in communication features being blocked outright
