What about Epstein networks with all the information in clear available and people identified which would deserve more scrutiny and effort?
Show us how real you are about protecting children.

New powers would let Ministers pick and choose what should be restricted, as well as impose curfews on access.
All without having to prove sites are harmful for children.
They don’t just cover social media, but all 'Internet services’ – blogs, websites, online games and more.

@openrightsgroup I think this is social media‘s backlash against being held accountable for the devastating effect. Social media has on young people and it actually has a bad effect on adults too. But they pretend it’s about caring about children. That’s what sickens me. How they do everything but solve the problem.

Governor Newsom is trash.
