> YouTube has angered MPs and peers by bombarding them with adverts that suggest it is up to parents rather than tech companies to restrict teenagers’ screen time.

On a daily basis they've got a new idea to mess with our devices. Will users have to pass ID verification to avoid screen time limits too? Why is everything that used to be Parental Controls being made mandatory?

I have to get off this site before the tech news gives me an aneurysm. Let me give a prediction. To access the internet at all, you will need ID linked to government identity by some kind of token, the goal being to make it impossible post anything that can't be tracked to an individual. A bunch of major services are going to abandon the UK entirely to avoid the paperwork, but it won't matter.
