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

Where do, I'm trying to think of other spaces online.

Is that where we say that we're gonna push kids into these places?

Wouldn't it be easier to, in good faith, try to engage or force by law the platforms that we're talking about here to make their platforms better?

I mean, have we really given up the fight?

That's the tech company's tough crap.

That's not our problem.

We represent our citizens.

Yes.

And we legislate for our citizens.

And the European Commission is doing this for European citizens.

I don't know who Keir Starmer is doing this for.

I think he's doing it to try and stave off a wing of his...

political party in his leadership battle.

Yeah.

I mean, if you want to see the most toxic, you know, parts of the manosphere, I mean, are you going to see that on Instagram or YouTube?

At the moment, you'd see dollops of it.

You'd see dollops of it, but wouldn't be better to try to address that, to give people more control over what they can see instead of just banning it and then pushing them off into, you know, other sites, other platforms where they're, you know, are defined by that kind of content.

I would doubt it.

Look, just to say as well, because I know I've presented one side of the story here pretty vociferously.

There are those who would argue that you should have both, that you can do all the things that I've been talking about, try and reform the services via the European Commission, but that also a ban helps as well.
