On: Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces

[Gigachad]

Watching youtube wasn't banned. They just got banned from having an account and participating in the social features of youtube.

As for how effective the ban was on getting kids off social media in general, I think it's a long process that doesn't entirely sit on this change. Banning phones in schools has been a much faster more radical improvement.

It's going to take a lot more work to defeat the tech giants but I'm glad we are trying.

...ah. So, kids can doomscroll youtube shorts all they want, but they can't use a premium account that lets them avoid adverts. Does that... help?
