Social Media Ban, Conspiracies, and Dangerous Driving Videos

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Banning kids from social media is like trying to nail jelly to a tree—the platforms will just find new ways to entice them, and the real danger is the content that slips through anyway.
💡 Why it matters
These issues highlight the urgent need for effective regulation of social media platforms to protect young users from harmful content and misinformation.

The government faces opposition to its proposals from MPs who believe a ban will not work. Social media goes into overdrive with Lindsay Clancy conspiracy.
