UK Kids Just Torched Starmer’s Social Media Ban, ‘I’d Just Stare at a Wall’ Zero hands up for the ban. One girl, Isabella, delivered the most honest reality check: without social media, she’d just stare at a wall. Brutal, funny, and spot on. Social media harms kids, addiction, anxiety, predators, the lot. But a full ban is classic nanny-state overkill. Teens will VPN around it, feel isolated from friends, or rebel harder. Smarter fix: • Privacy-respecting age verification • Default parental controls + real digital literacy in schools • Hold platforms accountable for addictive algorithms and stranger DMs • Actually fund sports, clubs, and offline life so “staring at a wall” isn’t the only option Protect kids. Don’t pretend we can unplug an entire generation. Ban, regulate smarter, or educate? What’s your take?
