YouTube is very mixed.

Putting short form content on it was a mistake.

It’s only not trash if you use it correctly.

Watch some videos by some racists, you get fed videos making you racist.

It has all the negatives of social media.

Ideal the UK would just make platforms responsible as publishers.

This is the dividing line which should apply for under 18s.

> It’s only not trash if you use it correctly. > Watch some videos by some racists, you get fed videos making you racist.

So don't watch some videos by some racists, and curate your feed properly. I don't see why the government needs to get involved here.

>This is the dividing line which should apply for under 18s.

The problem is the dividing line won't stay there. A lot of people want social media regulated or banned outright for adults as well. The incentives to restrict freedom of speech and control narratives are all-consuming. Definitions will be intentionally vague so that they can apply to any platform that governments want to censor.
