Algorithm-free feeds floated for kids' social media
Original: Social media for kids could go algorithm-free to avoid ban, High Court hears
UK High Court proceedings have heard that children's social media services could be made algorithm-free as an alternative to an outright ban, with platforms potentially keeping child accounts online only if they remove recommendation-driven feeds. The idea is being discussed as a way to protect young users from harmful algorithmic content while avoiding the shutting down of services for under-16s entirely.
Why now: Ongoing High Court scrutiny of children's online safety rules is pushing platforms and regulators to consider radical design changes.
