I was wondering how "social media" was defined. Anyone got a link to the actual bill?

From the article:

> "Messaging apps," "online gaming services" and "services with the primary purpose of supporting the health and education of end-users" will not fall under the ban, as well as sites like YouTube that do not require users to log in to access the platform.

Almost every "social" apps are basically messaging apps these days. What's the differentiating factor between banned and not banned? Having an algorithmic feed? So YouTube is not banned because its doesn't require users to log in to access the plaform? Can Instagram enable browsing without logging in (and disable some features except DM) to avoid the ban then?

Also, now kids can create YouTube accounts to use shorts as Instagram reels, community posts as Instagram Posts and subscribe to each other. But hey, that's not a "Social media" right?

    (i) the sole purpose, or a significant purpose, of the service is to enable online social interaction between 2 or more end-users;
    (ii) the service allows end-users to link to, or interact with, some or all of the other end-users;
    (iii) the service allows end-users to post material on the service;
Linked to the legislation in another comment.

This is so generic, you might as well ban the internet.
