@tama@aoir.social : I consider myself quite liberal, but I think as it is for smoking, alcohol : sometimes parents need in form of regulations.
To simply say "it won't work" or "it does not foster digital literacy" seems to miss the point in my view.
I wish our governments in Europe would do the same.

@MikeMugabushaka@sigmoid.social I find the analogy with smoking/alcohol disingenuous because those are direct actual harms to bodies. The problem with social media is that, yes, there are some risks and harms that can be amplified, but there are also many important opportunities, too. Trying to create a world where young people can access the maximum opportunities with the least risks should be the aim. At 13, with proper support/education, I would argue young people are ready to engage with social media.
