Critics say the three-year period is too long and point out that the legislation could require social media companies only to introduce parental controls, rather than imposing a hard age limit for their sites.

I think it should have started with parental controls instead of full on Australian style ban on everything. Especially given that the latter one was already proven useless.

If you are in UK please call your politicians and tell them that working with parental controls is the only way forward and you oppose wide bans and identity verification on the internet. Explain them how parental controls work and what's their purpose.

This is the perfect moment to show resistance!
