๐ซBritish teenagers should be banned from using social networks, denying them the opportunity to communicate with foreign users.
๐ขThis was stated at a conference organized by the British analytical center RUSI by the former Director General of MI5 counterintelligence, Jonathan Evans.
๐
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 โ someone like me โ 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.
๐กHe quoted the current head of MI5, Ken McCallum, who reported that today they have to investigate cases involving very young people.
๐
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 โ 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.
