I don’t think the parents who allow their kids to do this will suddenly start parenting them, so I doubt the effect will actually be significant; kids will simply work around it.

I can't take this constant fucking hysteria around meme videos, I've never known such hypocritical bollocks in all my life.

Some girl killed herself because SHE SEARCHED OUT SUICIDE CONTENT and the parents wanted someone to blame and now we all have to suffer this inane bullshit

There’s been plenty of experiments where it’s shown that the algorithm will push you down rabbit holes because it increases engagement.

That indicates the primary blame is to be put on said algorithm.

The admins' reaction is in the direction of "impeding web access".

then just make it default to chronological, no need for this circus with horses

It suggest suicide content on its own?

I mean, you've ignored what I said. She pushed herself down that rabbit hole. Neither you nor her parents want to accept that fact.

calling it that the curfew will be beaten day one by merely changing the system time

any competent engineer would only rely on the system time of a system within their control. all the decision-making would happen server side.
