+ give the gift of hair this Valentine's Day 💝
| | | | Spain's recently announced plan to ban under-16s from having social media accounts has stirred debate, and yielded predictably hyperbolic reactions from a few big tech billionaires. The measures will consist mainly of age verification for social media users, but beyond that the specifics – including which networks the ban will cover – have not been made clear. With details still emerging, online misinformation is outpacing facts. Cut through the noise and speculation with this clear, concise explainer on what we really know (and don't know) about the new measures – including the evidence behind them and where they might fall short. If you find yourself in Paris this Valentine's Day, you could do much worse than taking your sweetheart to an old-school bouillon restaurant. Originally set up by a Parisian butcher in the 1800s to serve broth made from the cheaper cuts of meat he didn't sell, bouillons soon became a bastion of working-class dining, pioneering the idea of fast food and the modern-day set menu. Learn all about their fascinating rise, fall and revival here. And if you're stuck for Valentine's gifts, why not try something new? Venture beyond the tired old chocolate boxes and teddy bears, embrace an 18th-century Irish tradition and give your beloved something they'll really cherish: your hair. According to Irish history professor Leanne Calvert, your lucky lover can put a lock under their pillow to dream a hairy dream of you, or gently sniff it while they picture your face. |  | Alex Minshall Editor, Valencia | |  Tatiana Íñiguez Berrozpe, Universidad de Zaragoza; Ana Cebollero Salinas, Universidad de Zaragoza; Carmen Elboj, Universidad de Zaragoza; Pablo Bautista Alcaine, Universidad de Zaragoza Details are still emerging, but we can't blame screentime for all teenage mental health issues. |  Nathalie Louisgrand, GEM Bouillons are back!
