This misguided Tory crackdown won’t keep kids off social media. The best solution is for families to have open conversations, says Chris Stokel-Walker, author of TikTok Boom
by former Facebook employee Frances Haugen laid bare the access many users had to distressing content and misinformation.
In hindsight, I wish I had been open enough to have similar conversations with members of my family – but I had the sense they would take a similar approach to Donelan and simply ban access to such platforms.”, realising that letting children roam with less strict oversight will ensure they grow up to be independent, rather than dependent, adults – similarly we need to allow them a little more slack for online exploration.
Perversely, Donelan’s draconian demand that tech companies outlaw younger users from accessing their platforms will probably have the opposite effect to the one intended. If you make it punitively expensive for companies to acknowledge that underage users might be on their platform, they will do their level best to prevent children from accessing it.
