UK PM announces ban on social media for under-16s

London (AFP) – Children under 16 will be banned from using social media in the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Monday, saying such platforms were making youngsters “unhappy”. Some children’s charities welcomed the sweeping change, which is likely to trigger a major fight with US tech giants, but others warned it could make teenagers less safe online. Starmer, likely to face a leadership challenge in the coming weeks, said social media sites were exposing children to content that is “dangerous” and “designed to be addictive”. The ban will “include platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X” but not messaging services such as WhatsApp, the government said. Starmer said the upcoming ban was influenced by the experience of Australia, which in December became the first nation to ban people under 16 from social media. He added during a press conference in Downing Street that he hoped to pass the regulation by late December and for the ban to come into force in spring next year. He suggested that YouTube Kids, Lego Play and Google Classroom would not be prohibited. The government said in a statement it would also be considering overnight curfews and breaks in infinite scrolling for minors, and would announce more detail in July.

Starmer to announce ‘Australia plus’ ban on social media for under-16s

Keir Starmer is to ban under-16s from major social media apps such as TikTok, Instagram and X in sweeping restrictions described as “Australia plus”, the Guardian understands. In a major policy shift far tougher than previously briefed, the prime minister will announce that teenagers will be banned from all the main social platforms. Online products that are not covered by the ban – such as gaming apps – will face new restrictions such as having the option to chat to strangers removed.

is our battery/junk drawer dangerous?

it’s just kinda a messy drawer of batteries/screwdrivers/IKEA assembly tools/etc. We’ve had it for like 15 years and it’s never been an issue but I saw a tiktok video of a lithium battery exploding and it made me realize, there’s a lot of potential energy in one drawer and idk if I’m taking the necessary safety precautions 😅 idk a lot about how batteries work, but like are they at risk of turning into a pillow and fireball like lithium ion ones?

It's so hard to find new content and I'm getting sick of it

I posted this on reddit but those fuckers removed it immediately Never have I ever used a platform whose algorithm is so “sticky” that I’ve exhausted my entire roundup of channels and shows, and it keeps getting harder and harder to find new stuff. Big part of this is how YouTube doesn’t have categories, especially on mobile. And before anyone says it, yes they do have a category sidebar. Shopping, Music, Movies & TV, Hype, Live, Gaming, News, Sports, Courses, Fashion & Beauty, Podcasts, Playables. That’s it. That’s the whole list. You want to find new cooking channels? Good luck, there’s no cooking category. History? Nope. Science? Nothing. Your only option is to go into “Gaming” and get served the same giants with 10 million subscribers you’ve already seen a hundred times. Like, I just want to find a channel that makes videos about woodworking or obscure history or literally anything I haven’t seen before, but YouTube keeps shoving the same 8 creators in my face because I watched one of their videos two years ago. The recommended page is just stuff I’ve already seen and stuff I actively don’t want to see. And the search is somehow even worse. You search for a topic trying to find something new and instead of relevant results it just shows you the same channels you always watch. Search “game reviews” and the top results aren’t new review channels you’ve never heard of, it’s the exact same guys already clogging your recommendations, plus videos you’ve already saved to watch later. You’re not finding anything new, you’re just being shown your own watch history back at you. Other platforms figured this out. Spotify has genre pages, radio stations, discovery playlists. Even TikTok, for all its problems, will occasionally show you something you’ve never seen before. YouTube just assumes that if you liked something once you want to see it forever, and if you’ve never seen something before that’s because you don’t want to. There’s no way out of it unless you already know exactly what you’re looking for, which kind of defeats the whole point. And yes I know you can delete your watch history. That’s not a solution. That’s a band-aid. **I just want to find new topics** who else has this problem?
