Jesus Christ
I keep reading through things I've said and I divulge necessary revisions each time. This is all I can tell has gone awry at the moment, but I'm going to come back to this sentence tomorrow and find an additional 20 things wrong with it. I've never been smart but I never expected such a sharp decline in my mental acuity

Why are you so upset at the idea of under 16s not being on social media anyway

The ban includes youtube which hosts useful things like Complexly, Khan Academy, Mark Rober, and plenty of other educational content that kids love. It’s much better that kids have access to content on YT instead of being gatekept by the Leftists who want them watching biased nonsense on tv.

Kids are learning calculus from 3Blue1Brown, exploring history through Crash Course, and getting better science education from YT creators than from most traditional textbooks. This isn’t just entertainment - it’s democratized education that bypasses the gatekeeping of traditional media entirely.

Australia’s social media legislation has changed with the inclusion of YouTube in the country’s list of proscribed entities subject to the under-16 ban, marking an expansion of what will become the world’s first comprehensive social media restriction for minors.

The Australia YouTube ban represents a policy shift, after the government initially exempted the Google-owned platform from restrictions that already include TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, and Snapchat.

The decision to include YouTube in the ban came after Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant recommended the platform’s inclusion last month, citing it as “the most frequently [mentioned] platform” where children aged 10 to 15 years encountered harmful content.

The comprehensive nature of Australia’s approach extends beyond access restrictions. Tech companies face substantial penalties of up to A$49.5 million for non-compliance with the age restrictions. The legislation requires platforms to deactivate existing accounts for under-16 users, prevent new account creation, and work actively to stop workarounds and correct implementation errors.
