FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE UK
Incase you are unaware of current discussions within the UK, the government has declared they will copy Australia by banning everyone under 16 from any and all social medias and live streaming services. More info on that will come in the following months through the BBC but for now you can read their current article about it.
