Kids get all the benefits of social media and have a creative outlet, and also a parent, trusted operator, or even the kid maintains control of the platform.
Making user-to-user apps banned seems like a giant overstep and inconsiderate.

Are uk citizens actually going to provide an ID though after it's in effect? Surely there is a tipping point where people actually don't value the platforms enough to do these things.

So, it really looks like we should ban most social media via regulatory controls _INSIDE_ their offices.
Instead, we're just trying to avoid focus on realistic regulatory concerns for global oligarchs.
