🚫British teenagers should be banned from using social networks, denying them the opportunity to communicate with foreign users.
📢This was stated at a conference organized by the British analytical center RUSI by the former Director General of MI5 counterintelligence, Jonathan Evans.
🔘
I personally support a ban on the use of social networks by persons under 16 years of age.
I think we have conducted a completely uncontrolled experiment, exposing many young people to a wide variety of factors about which we — someone like me — have no idea what they are.
You put them in their bedrooms and say: 'That's it. You can go and talk to anyone in the world, and we'll see what comes of it.' That doesn't seem brilliant to me," the speaker said.
😡He quoted the current head of MI5, Ken McCallum, who reported that today they have to investigate cases involving very young people.
🔘
And you know, a large part of the support for the far right is among very young people,
which is a frightening prospect.
If you look at support for the AfD in the recent elections in Germany, a huge share of voters aged 18 to 24 voted for the AfD.
The AfD is a fascist organization supported by Russia!
So — something is going wrong. And part of it is connected to the conditions we create for young people.
They just think: 'Well, what the hell can I get from this society?'" Evans worries.
