Time to censure the social media suppliers

My late mother in law was inundated with junk mail from charities and mail order companies . The answer is to make it illegal to send a letter without a license , right.
County lines ( and other ) drug gangs sometimes use a specific phone with all of the customers phone numbers ( one guy near me was stabbed for his one ) .
Kids sometimes use bikes to deliver drugs .
So the answer is to issue licences to ride bikes and use mobile phones …jeez.

Any public arena can be monitored? Every other public arena is monitored and vetted by government, why should the internet be different? 



But the parents need the tools to do this. Unless you are suggesting that we isolate young Grace from all her friends by taking away her phone then you need some way of controlling who she can access. 
I'm afraid the cat is out of the bag, the world has moved on, social media is here to stay. Only an extreme fascist state could close it down as your idea requires. 
Even China and Russia struggle to stop Telegram etc. 

This is not true. If i bump into my neighbors and have a conversation, the government would not know who i am. If i heckle a comedian and make a loud comment, nobody knows who I am. If I say something controversial loudly in a pub, the government don't know who I am. If people (in all above situations) agree with my commentary, they don't have to worry about being visited by the government the next day.

Maybe, if you decide not to ignore me in the future , you could post something sensible.

If you say 'something illegal' (whatever the hell that is?) in a pub, the chances are you will not be arrested because the government or police don't have a searchable, historical archive of everything said in a pub. They can't (for instance) peruse this archive at their leisure, taking particular notice of when political enemies (who they can easily identify) make comments that might be interpreted as 'illegal'.

I go back to my original point - what you seem totally fixated on doing is far, far more dangerous than any of the maladies you wish to cure with it.

What i will suggest is that the authorities should pursue internet fraud far more enthusiastically. One possible route might be to threaten several countries with excommunication unless they clean up their act.

If there is a id mark in, or easily implied by, every communication, the communication of a person, or persons, can be archived and searched. With AI, we can expect this to become more and more powerful - ie a further and further reach for what can be detected. "it has never happened" he says as he regularly presses and petitions for what amounts to thought crime so that it can happen. We are in a funny period - Germany seems going full democracy again and t's doubtful there will be a real democracy in the UK a few years. I'm try to draw things out so people can speak a bit longer before people like you close down our society entirely. My answer is no - you don't get to introduce something so damn dangerous because you have trouble recognising scam emails.

I wonder what on earth it is you want to say that the authorities would expend such a huge amount of money on to control it. 
When we already live with an internet where someone can challenge children to overdose with no consequence.
