Youth social media curbs have little carbon-cut impact as servers keep running

Banning minors from using social media is unlikely to reduce carbon emissions because data centres and network infrastructure continue consuming power regardless of users\' ages, according to a report.

They argue more direct measures should target data centres, platform energy use and video streaming.

Video tools now generate longer 4K content with audio and better character consistency. Broadcasters and studios are testing AI in election coverage, animation and drama, while China pushes commercialisation. In distribution, recommendation algorithms and AI dubbing are becoming core infrastructure. The shift is also raising concerns over copyright, creator protection and review standards.
