We can't have that eh. It's good for kids to sit on their asses all day playing games that involve hitting, kicking, shooting etc. Those Iranians just are so bad!

They will answer criticism with 'But look at the UK. They will be banning/restricting online material to protect children from 'moral threat''. Same old excuse to censor & ban. ageverification

Whilst simultaneously endorsing a sky fairy.

No one stops the internet

Read the headline, thought “fair enough!”. Brain engaged and thought about Iran and public stonigs...thought, “you’re fooked up!”

They are worried about games, but what about Islam? Humans are silly. *Turns on PlayStation 4* 🖕🖕

The real moral threat is making them believe in an imaginary friend.

The mind numbing games pose more of a threat to the brains of kids

Good for them

There seems to be a global fear of the depth of effect of the online world on people. Time to “time out” globally?

Another useless Government tool, that juggled Democracy with his £174k + salary and joyriding around the world, and decided the latter suited him much better, even looking unhealthy like most of the alcoholics in Westminster, having a right girafffe at the voters, horrible man

Iraq begins trial proceedings for 900 ISIS suspectsThe group of 900 suspects were handed over to Iraqi authorities by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, which ousted ISIS from swathes of eastern Syria including territory bordering Iraq. HangEmHigh Fortunately I don't think Iraq will be very merciful. For the record many of them are just normal Sunni Muslims who were captured by Shia terrorist groups and they want to kill them as part of ethnic cleansing to change the demography of the Sunni areas in Iraq. Any1 who thinks they will get a fair trial is deluded!
