New rule put night curfew and scroll limit on 16 and 17 year old even though they get right to vote now

The ban also hit gaming site, live stream, and AI bot that talk like romantic partner

Ten big app like X, TikTok, and Instagram get full block for kid, but small site like BlueSky is not on the list at all

Ofcom is build big tech system to watch device access and make sure age check happen

This make internet be look like state control, where gov decide what app is “bad” or “good”

Privacy expert say forced face scan and limit for teen will turn internet into big surveillance trap

Gov show double standard here, they say it for child safety but it look more like they pick winner and loser while they take away digital freedom from teen at same time they let them vote
