‘Albanese government “will backflip on exempting YouTube from its social media ban for people younger than 16”. The paper claims the decision comes after the eSafety commissioner advised the platform was the most likely place for children to view harmful content.’

Deh! Any parent could have told that useless, how much can I get in bed with the big boys, Michelle Rowland. #labor #youtube #labor #harmfulcontent

Interestingly, #YouTube claims that showing content on how to #download or even #watch #videos hosted on their site as "#HarmfulContent"...

And I'm not talking about 'bypassing paywalls' or 'circumventing age restrictions' but merely saying that '#YoutubeDLP got an #update' or 'a new #Invidious release came out.'

So not even encouraging "#crimes" like #piracy. (Which OFC they don't want to see on their platform!)

Simply having #ytdlp being shown as one of many programs in the #Flatpak Repo of #LinuxMint is apparently sufficient to get a video yeeted off the platform.

Seriously, WTF!?
