The crazy thing is that you don’t need to show an ID to stay at hotel in the uk, but you will need one to use the internet.

Hotels are not platforms. No network effects at play. The idea of ban is to push teen DAUs below the critical mass necessary for self sustaining retention and growth.

Sure teens will still figure out a way to access when they really want to, but they won’t be be the same level of peer pressure.

I feel like this is the strongest argument in favor of the bans. I am not sure it will be effective or is the most effective way to go about it. I am curious to see the data that comes out of Australia in a few years.
