Really odd why the explanation for their generation was omitted from the spec.

How is a social media company suppose to determine which country you are connecting from, and therefore need to produce a British passport?
Exclusive:
Social media companies will be required to implement “hard checks” on people’s ages such as demanding passports or driving licences under plans to stop children from using their platforms
The government is due to announce plans for a social media ban for under-16s in the coming weeks amid concerns that children are being exposed to harmful content
Ministers want to take a harder line on age verification to ensure that children are not using the platforms after concerns that a similar social media ban in Australia has had little impact
Under plans being considered by ministers, those using the sites will be required to submit their passports or driving licences or undergo credit checks to verify their age
The Australian government admitted this year that more than 70 per cent of under-16s still had “some access” to platforms three months after the law changed in December 2025
Children reported that it was “easy” to circumvent the ban. They are only required to undergo basic screening — where users take a selfie and artificial intelligence estimates their age — to access platforms if they do not wish to upload official documents. In the most brazen cases, children were able to bypass the restrictions by drawing beards onto their faces
Others have resorted to using virtual private networks (VPNs) to bypass checks by pretending they are based in another country, or pointing their phone’s camera at a screen showing an adult-looking face

Major Update regarding Stephen Colbert's Middle-earth movie
Newly formed Skydance is hitting “pause” on the film for now. Originally, the movie was rumored to begin filming shortly after The Hunt for Gollum ended back in New Zealand. Now that Warner Bros. has officially merged with Paramount Pictures, it has hit major stumbling block.
Not fully cancelled but not looking good

I'm not sure why the UK thinks that the "social media ban" is going to go any better than the Online Safety Act.
The (U.S.) services that comply, comply; VPN circumvention remains available; US services that refuse to comply will continue to be available.
They got a Hollywood actor, Jack Quaid, to motion cap the gelatinous transparent blue cube.
And they wonder why American AAA game studios are collapsing.

He doesn't understand the animosity to the BBC.
There is a lot of people that would stop subscribing to Netflix just to prevent the BBC getting a cut.
BBC News should be on streaming services such as Netflix, the corporation’s boss has said.
Matt Brittin, the BBC director-general and a former Google executive, said he wanted to reform how the broadcaster’s content is consumed and paid for.

"BBC is at risk of entering an inescapable doom spiral"
They still can't admit the BBC has been in a doom spiral for at least a decade.
Had to check how long it took... 13 years.

Speaking as a fellow European lawyer, the irony is that EU regulation ends up protecting US big tech. Complying with GDPR, the DSA and the AI Act costs Google roughly what it costs a five-person startup. One absorbs it as overhead. The other shuts down.
Free speech works the same way. Europe protects it on paper, but the DSA creates a perverse incentive: when in doubt, platforms delete, because removing content never gets fined and leaving it up can. Nobody censors by law; they censor out of caution.
Something's missing from the list: failing in Europe is expensive. In the US a founder who shuts down is back at it in six months. In Spain you can spend years dragging debts and the stigma of "the guy who went bust." Without a real second chance, there's no first one. Point 1 matters most and gets discussed least. The AI race will be decided in data centers, and data centers go where power is cheap and reliable. Without energy, the DSA debate is almost secondary.
