Can you believe it’s been five years since the pandemic began? It feels like just yesterday we were all frantically searching for toilet paper, wondering if the world was running out of Dasani water, and trying to figure out how to do a decent fist bump without feeling awkward. Five years have passed since the COVID-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down, and it’s hard to believe how far we’ve come.

Every parent with a fancy, new Smartphone was uploading hours and hours of all the cute things their kids were doing. But now in 2025, those kids are in their teens or older. Guess what? They don’t want people seeing those videos anymore.
