Why is YouTube BANNED? | Ep 99
Episode 99
Saturday, 6 December, 2025
Daniel & David get together this week to analyse what has actually been quite a few busy weeks in tech. Samsung, with ANOTHER launch, have thrown out the Galaxy Z TriFold, and the boys discussed the viability of a phone that unfolds into an actual tablet. This then prompted David to discuss what the actual point is of tablets and, more specifically, iPads. Attention turned pretty sharply towards YouTube, as big news out of Australia is that the government has BLOCKED & BANNED all social media for under-16s in a crackdown on cyberbullying and targeted algorithms. In amongst that ban is YouTube, and Daniel & David discuss the benefits, but also the very real concerns of blocking out the youth from something as positive as YouTube might cause. Apple are seeing mass executive exodus in droves in the last week, Daniel updates on studio life and gives insights into the corporate Samsung world & Australia is smashing England in the ashes. All that and more in Episode 99 of Minus Sixteen!
