My kid's school here in the UK banned them, but the kids all take them in anyways and the teachers don't care.

I had banned YouTube in the house, but then the school started assigning homework to watch YouTube videos.

The dependence of our infrastructure on private social media companies is shocking and needs to be stopped immediately.
