4 ways to protect kids online - without government interference🔒

1. Does every child need a device at all?
If you decide they do, a simple call & text phone may be enough. If internet access is needed, use smartphones with parental controls or monitored devices. Guidance is available from Protect Young Eyes.

2. Parental controls:
YouTube uses Family Link/YouTube Kids, Instagram has private teen accounts and Family Centre, TikTok uses Family Pairing, WhatsApp only offers privacy settings, and Facebook uses privacy settings plus Family Centre tools.

3. Parental controls (on devices):
Use Microsoft Family Safety on Windows, Screen Time on Apple devices, and Content & Privacy Restrictions on phones. Turn on Safe Search or use child‑friendly search engines like Kiddle.

4. Restrict incoming content:
Most home routers let you block adult or unsafe sites for every device by using parental, control settings or adding sites to a blocklist.

ONE LOGIN NEEDS PROPER OVERSIGHT:

One Login has quietly expanded across 200+ government services - with more planned.

Going forward, no expansion of One Login should take place before safeguards for privacy and civil liberties are established and proper parliamentary oversight is in place.

Why is a system of this significance being allowed to scale to millions of people without full public debate?

ELECTION CENSORSHIP: "This is Soviet-esque stuff going on here"

(Connie Shaw)

We’ve got passports
We’ve got National Insurance numbers
We’ve got driving licences

We don’t need Digital ID!

DIGITAL ID PLEDGE:

"The public can have a big impact" (Alan Miller)

You can change your bank, delete your social media accounts, and switch off your devices. But you can't opt out of the state.

A national Digital ID risks giving government powers over your life that no website or app has.

Millions of people see the danger in Digital ID. If you’re one of them, take the Pledge.

A similar pledge helped stop Tony Blair’s ID card scheme in the 2000s - and was signed by more than 1 million people.

Take the Pledge:

#PledgeTogether #ScrapDigitalID

Do you trust the government with your most personal data?

If the answer is no, why would you trust them with a national Digital ID?

Millions of people oppose Digital ID. If you’re one of them, take the Pledge.

A similar pledge helped stop Tony Blair’s ID card scheme in the 2000s - and was signed by more than 1 million people.

DIGITAL ID: The Tony Blair Institute continues to push Digital ID

Their single biggest funder - at over £200m - is Larry Ellison, US tech tycoon, who runs Oracle

Ellison's vision of the future? "Citizens will be on their best behaviour, because we're constantly recording & reporting everything that's going on"

FREEDOM TECH:
"I strongly suggest that if you don’t already have one, you research, download and install a VPN on all your devices today, while you still can" -Freddie New

ONE LOGIN: "You may be completely exposed to identity fraud" - Andrew Orlowski

FREEZE ONE LOGIN:

We call for an immediate freeze on One Login pending independent review by the National Audit Office - meaning no further rollout or expansion until that review is complete and safeguards are in place.

DIGITAL ID PLEDGE:

"Digital ID would allow the government to persecute people for their views and potentially track them around the country"

Don’t let "social media age checks" become Digital ID by the back door

The open internet has given ordinary people the power to learn, create, organise, challenge those in power and speak freely

That freedom is now under threat

DIGITAL ID PLEDGE:

Digital ID would be "beginning of the end of true freedom in the United Kingdom"

"They are determined to bring it in, and will use really dodgy methods to do so"

A “social media ban for children” will ultimately mean ID checks for all of us before we can speak online.

Parents already have tools to protect their children. Children do not buy smartphones for themselves. Adults choose to provide devices and decide how they are used.

If a parent wants parental controls, they can enable them today.

Children need guidance, care, and sensible boundaries – not an internet redesigned around the assumption that every user must be a potential threat.

There is nothing safe about a society where ordinary people must be identified, monitored, and recorded simply to participate.
