With some radical thinking, the UK bank accounts of the people and commerce (inc. markets) equate to £500bn moving each and every day. (Based on published BoE oversight/settlement figures for BACS etc catching up on what we perceive that transacts immediately when we send money or pay bills. It's all very google-able). Apply what could largely be seen as a fair/progressive 0.25% charge, separately levied figure straight to HM Treasury (with bank licence dependent on the bank itself not charging to facilitate this) would bring upwards of £325bn into the coffers each year. ie The potential to attend to the incidental/unexpected demands on the public purse that exist in our times. Leaving the £1.2tn received by taxes, duties and licenses to work without so much push, pull and spending reviews. Life used to be more simple, we paid income tax when we earned and VAT when we spent and the net caught the majority of us Brits. But the economy is wider than what it was now, and with globalisation and loopholes, the country gets diddled. 0.25% on sending £30,000 would be £75. Deducting £30,075 from you there and then, or as soon as the next £75 arrived in your account over what you'd saved for that house/car/surgery. This would upset the investors and businesses dealing in billions of £ per day, but if they're any good at adding value/investing, they'll soon fix 0.25% of back-pressure, wouldn't they? We need to kick on to do what the current government says the economy is crying out for. £325bn would be a massive shin-up to cultivate an environment ready for Green agendas and push workers into more skilled work, wherever possible. Letting the automation and A.I. we keep hearing about slide in to do the equivalent jobs we currently expect those in the East to be enslaved to complete for us. Apologies for the long reply and to TL;DR-ers.

Four parents who are suing TikTok cc: @BBCEducation @mollyroseorg @Ofcom @tvlicensing #BBC @BBCPress TikTok wherever sued is unlikely to protect our kids. The Online Safety Act will have limited teeth and means to extradite USA division heads or global owners. Parents in the U.S. have developed a rather expensive BARK PHONE solution. This whitelists the age appropriate content and heavily blacklists the terrible or dangerous (to vulnerable people and younger age groups). The phones have no current ambition to work in the UK as the operator of the service is wary about the GDPR and eavesdropping terminology in the EU. BARK can be added to certain devices but there are provisos such as on IOS the smarter kids can use the in-app browser within certain App-store titles. Yet, there is a pre-installed and controlled boot environment Samsung A-series device that is BARK enabled and secured, out of the box upon. Before sales tax they pitch the hardware at $9 set-up and $59 per month when bundled with the A-series device. Pundits say that these phones are laggy, making them moderately poor propositions compared to the usual way people get their kids overly expensive tech. All in all, the basic sense behind assuming that the content publishers and content conduit providers won't sort this any time soon and that the terminal devices accessing the content is the best place still holds. What could we Brits do? Probably the Bark Phone or adding it as an app to smart devices, computers (and increasingly games consoles and TVs) is too much of a big ask. However, the UK govt could build a service to operate website and IP range blockers to give the kids the majority of what they desire but with a glass ceiling for how awful the owner experience could ever be. Similarly, through opting-in, vulnerable adults post-16 might also prefer to have a filtered Internet service that has been checked with little or no influence by the phone vendor or mobile/WiFi-enabled-ISP connectivity. For example, phones that are linked to the various parental accounts as family members could enforce the function on the internet that turns URLs into numeric addresses, the Namespace services, technically run from a Domain Name Service function within the phone. Any sub-account could perhaps be forced to go to namespace filtering to ensure that phones that have been connected to Wi-Fi, tethered to any number of devices or being used abroad on their cellular networks would have a first line of defence. We might need Apple and Android to participate in ensuring this can't be overridden without promoting the owner to adult status. Which could be double locked in case children provide IT support to their parents. But the full browser experience and the means to allow perhaps just aspects or appropriateness-cleared areas YouTube or maybe certain parts of TikTok and Instagram (same might be true of 'X' and Facebook but kids seem to avoid them like they're the plague), could be handled by a government assigned body. It also seems reasonable that in a cost-of-living crisis, parents tasked to do the right thing will begrudge anything that costs them each month or in set-up to protect their own children. Furthermore, we're entering, with a little help from the Conservatives, a time where people our working hard to opt-out of paying the live-TV, live-streaming and on-demand iPlayer streaming that is often thought of as paying for the BBC singularly. People say they're not using these channels even though, with Barb qualification, that clearly is a way off from being the actual truth on a month by month usage assay of the nation in the case of the majority of domestic households (and some businesses/organisations too, for that matter). By close of 2027, the Royal Charter that has the BBC continuing to provide and somehow remain funded to 'entertain', 'inform', and 'educate' and to attract commercial broadcasters to heavily consider due impartiality because BBC has set the example (unlike say Fox, or NBC in the USA, but perhaps more like CBS). Would perhaps changing from a reception-usage model to a levy on Internet access as an aid to support the Online Safety Act be more in order? For example, if every broadband/fixed-data(Internet) line and data-contract with a mobile device operating on a cellular network had a monthly levy of £5, but we at the same time scrapped the TV licence, then small households would be a bit better off. Families living as a household of three or more with mobile and domestic broadband would be paying more, but not anything like the premium of a BARK Services/Phones. Pensioners who might need to be connected and might like to be protected would be getting the both for £60 per year per person. Couples with a phone each and a connected home and perhaps a connected modern car would be about £60 above what the TV licence currently costs for such a bundle. And inbound tourism and PAYG domestic phones might just have to clear a £5 minimum on-time-per-month transaction to unlock service. It would perhaps make best sense to assign the running of the 'protect' operation to BBC Education (Bitesize etc) or perhaps BBC Ventures as a National-Lottery type of brand franchising. There is some precedent to this with how in the 1980s the BBC brought computers into the national discourse with a government sponsored initiative that ended up with them partnering with Acorn Computers. Something similar happened with the micro:bit device that is fairly commonplace in schools. Also, in how within-funding, BBC put the whole national curriculum in an interactive website and video programming online during the pandemic. Of course such things would need debate. Overall, isn't it time that we just took our under14s or under16s away from the front doors of social media and dodgy websites by providing a filtered form of the Internet. And instead of how the Great Firewall is operated between China and the rest of the world to reduce information, have ours to reduce the chances of their minds being both corrupted or damaged at such an innocent age. Ultimately, the BBC might need to partner with a network based filtering solution, of which there are many (Fortinet, Palo Alto etc). Similarly, they may need to have Internet Protocol (IP) handoffs coming in from tagged Internet Service Provider (fixed lines) and various mobile SIM/eSIM mechanisms where ITMI/MVNO profiles fire users through mobile phone networks (just for data/Internet) into a aggregation point (L2TP termination etc). The BBC likely has more than sufficient core/edge network bandwidth (peering and global transit) to get started with this. And the advantages would be numerous. The BBC is sliding into a death spiral whilst people do the dirty on it and claim that they never watch or listen to their offered material. We're a nation of scrimpers and the current legislation has made this grow into at least the vestige of a problem. BBC now has to cope with less than £3.7bn for its whole national and international (soft-power) service and with what had become and may continue as fewer bundles of notes from the government to share the burden for the influence and good branding this gives our country and to counter propaganda from emerging nations and the USA etc. Going to £5 per month per data/Internet-providing contracted line/facilities would bring in about £6bn per annum. Allowing the BBC to return to its trajectory to maintain broad services (including local radio and UK specific rolling TV news) by perhaps taking £4.5bn of that. Leaving the last £1.5bn to set-up the 'protect' offering and to then continually improve and be able to present to government as to how it is doing to help prevent bad actors from targeting our youth by other nefarious means. We should lean into the challenge. Pushing the protection purely by throwing the kids to either have no phone or a candybar/brick/non-smart phone is just going to do what the drinking age restriction of 21 does in the USA. Prohibition rarely works but inhibition or clear explainers that we want to keep their mental health in tip-top condition but we're not going to be as punitive as to send them into the dark ages just because we're too lazy to implement a technological band-aid or well thought out bureau service. I appreciate that there is already a committee working-party trying to bring and consult with the public over how to work towards the next revision of the Royal Charter and the funding quandary for the BBC. Similarly, in how @lisanandy not only wants to get the funding model right for the BBC, but to also help ring-fence its ability to exist and maintain a certain level of flourished status even if we have a future government that is as tumultuous as we're seeing unravel over the pond just now. Much as most fair-minded MPs blessed with reasonable intellect do realise that the BBC is one of the only outlets that puts due-impartiality at the head of its outlet's broad range of offerings and almost never just as an afterthought. And how the less well endowed with sense mistake being criticised just being part of the way being in government, which inevitably makes them relevant to be scrutinised the most. (spoiler alert, if you count the number of complaints over the ages, you'll notice that about the same number of voices claim they've Left-sympathies as whom claim they're swinging to the Right. This fair study viewer with the international output pretty much explains that the BBC is in a moderately unique position as an unbiased organisation that might occasionally look kind hearted or to champion the struggling: Despite the sense behind combining the public service broadcaster 'project' of the BBC's continuation with the protection of our children being cost-effective, this wouldn't of course be the only way to make an smart-device adjunct solution become available in a way people could both trust and afford. Shouldn't cross-party ambitions in Westminster be usefully thinking outside the box with some of this. Rather than assuming that the tech-bros will put our young learners and rugrats in any place other than in their sights? Apologies for the long reply and to TL;DR-ers.
