The Big Tech Show · The uncomfortable truth about banning under 16s from social media · 18 Jun 2026 podcast

So it's going to be the parents account

which means they might see adult-rated content, and particularly for 14 and 15-year-olds.

So if you're 14 or 15, you won't be allowed to have a normal YouTube account.

Instead, you will be forced into having a kid's account.

And of course, you're not going to...

you know, look at YouTube kids when you're 14 or 15.

So what you're going to do is you're going to bypass the system as the vast majority of people in Australia have done.

This is the Australian eSafety Commissioner did a big piece of research a few months after that country introduced its ban.

found that 70% at least of 8 to 15-year-olds were still using social media.

There's zero drop in the issues associated with that, extreme content, bullying, all that sort of stuff.

So in the UK, 14 to 15-year-olds will continue using YouTube, but now they'll be using the adult version of YouTube because that's the way, because they don't want to see YouTube kids, but they can't put in their true age, 14 or 15.

So now they're going to be seeing adult content

YouTube, which for Google means they get to serve them adult ads.

They get to recommend adult content.

Yeah.

So there is.

And it is a bunch of unelected people called the European Commission.

Ironically.

So the European Commission earlier this year came out with a couple of rulings that have really shaken the big tech companies.

They're really worried about it.
