the longest journey has to begin with a single step - time and patience
a short band today may lead to a longer ban tomorrow and a complete ban in time - it's all raising awareness of the issue
companies are driven by money not morals (yes, not all, but the majority) so anything that affects their shares and profits will be felt
things will change - they may be forced to change but at least they will
the subject needs to be raised every single minute of every day though
and also 'popular' political figures like that twat boris and kier will be 'forced' to address this matter especially if it means they get votes which equates to getting into power
This hardly affects their pockets, that's my point. If its an indefinite thing, they don't know IF these oganisations will ever return, which had the potential to hurt the pockets of social media platforms, a window of inactivity removes the question of whether the organisations will return.
As for politicians, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson has a history of ridiculously racist comments, he COULD pretend to be all for helping with the issue but anyone with any sense will see through it and it wouldn't be the first time he's made promises then changed his mind
I fully understand that things need to be done step by step BUT even that small first step needs to be executed in the right way. Not many people will take much notice of this to be honest, it will be hailed as a move to combat it but it's not going to spark large action IMO, I hope i'm wrong but I just dont see it
