NZ is now several steps behind every comparable jurisdiction on social media regulation.
We don’t need blanket bans for under-16s. We need:
• a regulator
• enforceable duties of care
• penalties for platforms who ignore NZ law
Delay has gendered consequences.

Palestinian prisoner Abdulkarim Sanobar’s home in the occupied West Bank was blown up by the Israeli military, after he was accused of a bomb attack on empty buses in February.
Rights groups say blowing up the homes of prisoners is collective punishment and a war crime.

Imo this is on the same spectrum as the PoliceNZ scandal. Attacking women should be a disqualifier for any role and definitely an sppoitment that gives you power over others #nzpol 1/2

Gail Pachinko, commissioner spokesperson for gender equality: “this move demonstrates a lack of care and empathy for trans young people in Aotearoa. As set out in the Commission’s submission earlier this year, the consultation process was flawed and inappropriate. Unsurprisingly, so is the outcome.”

• Puberty blockers are used for a variety of reasons in healthcare in addition to puberty blocking such as treatment for endometriosis, breast and prostate cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome and gender dysphoria.

So in a few month's time when the govt is telling you the social media under 16 age ban is to protect children, remember that they don't actually care about children's safety. They don't care about trans kids. They don't care about tamariki Māori. They don't care about feeding kids. #nzpol
