The move was due to fears that messaging functions on the platforms allowed strangers to groom children, according to the newspaper. It suggested similar reselling platforms, Depop and Facebook Marketplace, would also be included in the list of banned sites.

I don’t even know what to say to this LOL.

    It’s good that they are pushing this after they released their own findings that the only safety act so far has done nothing to protect kids - the one upside they were claiming.

    Can’t wait until they arrive at the only rational solution: to just straight up ban children from existing.

      It bears repeating this is not about the children… it’s about ending online anonimity for everybody, one website at a time.
