According to a report issued by the Australian Internet Regulator, 37% of the minors faced a dangerous content on YouTube. This figure is much higher than other social media platforms. Considering all this, the government of the country has decided to ban YouTube.
Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz has said, “Now is the time that we should ban this platform. Australian children are negatively affecting social media and we should take drastic action for their benefit.” The Prime Minister assured the parents of the country that the government was with them.
YouTube has also reacted to this whole case. YouTube replied that their platform was mainly for sharing video and should not be classified as social media. The company spokeswoman said YouTube is a video library that people can watch on TV too. That is not social media.
Last year, the government did not ban the popularity of YouTube by the government teachers. But at that time platforms like Meta, Snapchat and Tiktok opposed it. He said that in YouTube too, there are many social media elements like interactive features and algorithm based content decoration.
