  "textContent": "Ars Technica – 15 Jun 26\n\n### UK to ban social media for kids under 16, may impose overnight curfews\n\nCritics say bans push kids to riskier alternatives and can be beaten with VPNs.\n\nOuch. Banning streaming (including game streaming) unless you show ID, stopping anonymous chat (including gaming), and even promising to implement curfew rules, with details coming in July.\n\nIt’s starting to be obvious the UK has an issue. Even regular people who don’t get involved or are knowledgeable about such things, get spooked at the word “curfew.”",
