A source told the Guardian that the UK’s proposed under-16s ban could cover up to 150 platforms.

Online safety minister Ian Murray says services could avoid restrictions by removing harmful functions. But industry bodies say YouTube Kids cannot function without recommendations, challenging that escape route.
