    That’s a weird list. I’ve never considered GitHub to be social media.

    The comments here seem to be missing a salient point.

    In order to determine if a user is under 16, you need to determine that for every single user … including you!

    This means that your personal data will be harvested in order to determine if you are over 16 or not.

    How about we just stick them all in airtight lead-lined boxes? Then they’ll be truly safe.

      Can we keep me safe from Pinterest? I would really like to exclude it from my search results on a permanent basis without having to explicitly filter it in my query.

    Doesn’t it already include YouTube and TikTok?

    Edit: Yes, it does. Misleading title is misleading.

    That is a list of things that are social media, or have aspects of the platform that are social, and contain UGC.
