UK Bans Social Media for Under-16s While Leaving Blue Sky Platform Open

What was said

"The fact that they left Blue Sky open, which is the most left-leaning platform on planet Earth, certainly tells you that they're not worried about social media. They're worried about the message on social media and what you have access to."

The UK announced a ban on under-16-year-olds using social media platforms, following Australia's similar move, but notably exempted Blue Sky. Bilyeu argues this reveals the ban is about message control rather than child safety, noting the UK imprisons more people for social media posts than China or Russia, approximately 30 people per day.
