I wonder what UK thinks about private social media or a model similar to the one I've tried to create with nanogram. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48558511 Kids get all the benefits of social media and have a creative outlet, and also a parent, trusted operator, or even the kid maintains control of the platform. Making user-to-user apps banned seems like a giant overstep and inconsiderate.
