@ElonBachman Saw stats a while back that said the jump from once to twice a week is huge - greater than double. Two to three is large but less than the 50% jump in time spent. 3 to 4 was quite small, but there was a difference.
The last sentence is the real meat and potatoes of this.
What's being promoted as a 'social media ban for children', is really an ID check for every adult.
Do I think YouTube could handle it's responsibility to kids better? Of course. Do I think they could create their product more for family utility and less for holding attention. Absolutely! Does this help with any of that? No, it does the opposite.
Banning under-16s from YouTube mostly means banning them from logging in, which means YouTube will treat them less like kids and more like anonymous adults. Great job, UK.
