Yeah.
And I think the government's own research has showed that 10% of children have used VPNs, virtual private networks, to get around age verification on certain websites and social media.
So if already 10% of children are doing that, I think it's highly likely that much more than 10% will be able to easily get around these, especially if it's just going into your settings and changing it.
Yeah, so there has been a lot of research that shows that children's sleep can be really disrupted if they're on social media late at night.
And I think parents feel like they're fighting a losing battle, essentially, and trying to get their children to switch off.
They did some sort of trial runs of different types of social media restrictions with about 300 teenagers.
And they say that this one worked particularly well.
It had a lot of benefits.
So, yeah.
And I mean, obviously, you know, children are accessing really harmful content online.
We know that.
And it's hard for parents to monitor that if their child is, you know, scrolling on their phone at one o'clock in the morning in their bedroom.
So I think parents would broadly kind of welcome this.
But, you know, and there is a sort of genuine need for stuff like this.
But obviously there are a lot of limitations.
There are arguments that 16 and 17 year olds who can make really major decisions about their lives.
We'll be able to vote.
You know, they should be able to make these decisions themselves.
Some people would argue.
So, yeah, I think that's why they've kind of held back from that.
