@eff wtf is happening in the UK last few years???

@eff I'm beginning to think this is not about young people and their safety, and more about control and setting up for a conservative rightwing future.
What does social media and networking provide?
Diverse range of views empowering democracy to push for things that benefit the people.
What did the rightwing parties have 20-30 years ago?
Control through mainstream media. They are assuming people will return to their trusted news source, Sky News, to misinform the public to destroy democracy.
