CANBERRA, Australia — Following the government’s decision to add Twitch to the teen social media ban while keeping Pinterest legal, millions of Australian teenagers have suddenly announced they are now “really into digital scrapbooking.”

Regulators confirmed this week that while watching live video games is now illegal for teens under the new rules, looking at thousands of pictures of wedding table settings remains perfectly safe.

“We had to draw a line between harmful content and wholesome inspiration,” said Dr. Arlene Foster, Director of Arbitrary Internet Safety. “We decided that watching a streamer play Minecraft is dangerous, but doom-scrolling through ‘Cottagecore Autumn Vibes’ is educational. It is about protecting the youth from moving images.”

Teenagers have adapted instantly to the loophole. Thousands of competitive gamers have migrated to Pinterest, uploading 60 screenshots per second to boards titled “High-Speed Military Aesthetics” to simulate live gameplay without breaking the law.

“I am not gaming, Mom, I am curating a mood board of tactical outfits,” said one 14-year-old while furiously refreshing a page of tank images.

At publishing time, Australian officials were scrambling to update the law after realizing teens were using Google Docs to host massive, text-based chat rooms.
