[Gillyfish]

To add to Brother Tyler's post, some of the mooted bans in the UK, may either be blanket social media bans or to the 'more addictive elements' of social media, which suggests (to me) the more algorithmic side may be what they are targeting, in which case we may be okay in those jurisdictions, although the precise definition used will be where any issues truly arise. 

 

Some of these stances ignore recent academic research which suggests that users would actually like better moderation of what social media there is, but discussion of the precise motivations for outright bans vs. more nuanced approaches is likely to take us into areas we cannot discuss on the Board, so that is best left alone.

 

We are looking at this closely though.
