## Resource

Social media giants face imminent new rules aimed at shielding kids online, with age limits and addictive features under threat before year’s end. Driven by heartbreaking family stories and mounting criticism of lawmakers’ sluggish response, governments weigh bans modeled after Australia—or demand tech firms prove their platforms are safe for children. Platforms push back, arguing algorithm changes hurt user experience and suggesting OS-level controls instead. The debate rages: outright bans or smarter design to protect youth without stifling innovation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
