Uh Greece. voice-verified

is going to introduce a ban like this from uh twenty twenty seven onwards, there's gonna be a ban on social media access and um Austria and Slovenia are also considering such a ban. voice-verified

Um obviously we've spoken before on this podcast about the fact that Australia was the first uh country to bring in a ban like this and we've discussed sort of the complicated nature of it. voice-verified

I think in particular voice-verified

Thank you for checking. voice-verified

that Australia brought in this ban a couple of years ago and you know, recent studies suggest that seventy percent of parents being surveyed, so their kids still have active social media accounts, which gets exactly at why these bans voice-verified

maybe aren't being as well thought out as they could be. voice-verified

You know, they don't seem to limit access in the way that we think. voice-verified

And also, you know, for example, when I read something like a ban on a feature like the infinite scrolling, my first question is, why would such a ban only be limited to a kid's social media account? voice-verified

avoiding the problem that comes with kind of bans because they don't really punish the platforms at all. voice-verified

And the you know, like voice-verified

Um there's the Digital Services Act, which cracks down on the availability of illegal content and enforces stronger moderation on large platforms. voice-verified

Um, you know, Ireland has its own online safety code, which, you know, regulates potentially illegal content on video sharing platforms. voice-verified

But like voice-verified

We can't say that it's done very much, 'cause of course we cast our minds back to earlier this year and there was the the grok. voice-verified

Child sexual abuse material scandal that we seem to the Irish government seemed to be totally powerless to manage that. voice-verified
