NET ZERO: "We are heading for a crisis"

"By 2030, we should probably expect not to be able to keep the lights on when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining"

Child safety starts with parents, not the state.

Children do not independently acquire smartphones.

These devices are bought, configured, and managed by parents or carers.

No child enters the online world without an adult making that decision first.

And parents already have tools available to them.

A parent who wants a child-lock on a phone can switch one on today. For free. It is already built into modern devices. Screen-time limits, app restrictions, and content filters exist right now and are widely available.

Despite this, what is now being proposed is a shift towards mandatory, system-wide enforcement built into every device, and applied to every user.
⚠️ A “social media ban” sounds like it’s about children.

But the systems behind it could mean all of us having to prove who we are before using parts of the internet.

What starts as age checks could become a system where ordinary people are identified, tracked and monitored just to find information, speak, share and take part online.

Don’t let age checks become Digital ID by the back door.

The open internet has given ordinary people the power to learn, create, organise, challenge those in power and speak freely.

That freedom is now under threat.

4 ways to protect kids online - without government interference🔒

1. Does every child need a device at all?
If you decide they do, a simple call & text phone may be enough. If internet access is needed, use smartphones with parental controls or monitored devices. Guidance is available from Protect Young Eyes.

2. Parental controls:
YouTube uses Family Link/YouTube Kids, Instagram has private teen accounts and Family Centre, TikTok uses Family Pairing, WhatsApp only offers privacy settings, and Facebook uses privacy settings plus Family Centre tools.

3. Parental controls (on devices):
Use Microsoft Family Safety on Windows, Screen Time on Apple devices, and Content & Privacy Restrictions on phones. Turn on Safe Search or use child‑friendly search engines like Kiddle.

4. Restrict incoming content:
Most home routers let you block adult or unsafe sites for every device by using parental, control settings or adding sites to a blocklist.

DIGITAL ID: "Undemocratic idealistic crackpot policies"

Donald C MacLeod MBE at our #ScrapDigitalID Rally in Scotland Edinburgh outside Holyrood
One Login has quietly expanded across 200+ government services - with more planned

Expansion must not continue without proper parliamentary scrutiny and safeguards for privacy and civil liberties

Why is a system of this significance being allowed to scale to millions of people without full public debate & scrutiny?

STARMER RESIGNS: Good riddance

What an absolute disaster this man has been

The signs were there in Covid, when - far from questioning extreme measures - he was all-in on screaming for more, even demanding *another* lockdown and talking of using emergency legislation to “deal with” campaigns he didn’t like

He gained power with the backing of less than 20% of the electorate, then had the sheer brass neck to claim he'd "tread more lightly on the lives of voters"!

In reality, he could hardly have been worse

We need a Digital Bill of Rights as a bulwark against people like Starmer. But not just Starmer - against a whole technocratic class who see the public as a problem to be managed, and whose increasingly dystopian surveillance “solutions” are well advanced and backed by big money

Join us, support us, and let’s keep pushing back #together - because the challenges we face are far bigger than this one man, however dreadful and damaging he may have been

The open internet - one of the greatest forces for freedom and human progress in history - is under threat

A “social media ban for children” will ultimately mean ID checks for all of us before we can speak online
