Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/kids-social-media-australia-ban\/\" class=\"text link\">Australia became<\/a> the first country to try to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/kids-and-teen-influencers-in-australia-say-goodbye-to-social-media\/\" class=\"text link\">keep people under 16 off the apps<\/a>. In June, the United Arab Emirates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.me\/story\/the-uae-just-banned-social-media-for-under-15s-do-these-bans-actually-work\" class=\"text link\">enacted a measure<\/a> locking youth under 15 out of platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/tiktok\/\" class=\"text link\">TikTok<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/instagram\/\" class=\"text link\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/snapchat\/\" class=\"text link\">Snapchat<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/facebook\/\" class=\"text link\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/x\/\" class=\"text link\">X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Just last week, the UK <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2026\/jul\/15\/teenagers-verdic-britain-social-media-curfew-ban-whats-the-point\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2026\/jul\/15\/teenagers-verdic-britain-social-media-curfew-ban-whats-the-point&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/media\/2026\/jul\/15\/teenagers-verdic-britain-social-media-curfew-ban-whats-the-point\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">revealed a plan<\/a> to institute a midnight social media curfew next spring for 16- and 17-year-olds\u2014one they can opt out of. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in June that he hoped to pass a more stringent ban on social media for under-16s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c2kydl0zqeko\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text link\">before Christmas<\/a>.\u201d Starmer formally resigned earlier this week, but the legislation is likely to proceed. On Tuesday, lawmakers in France <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/07\/21\/world\/france-becomes-the-first-eu-country-to-ban-social-media-for-children\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/07\/21\/world\/france-becomes-the-first-eu-country-to-ban-social-media-for-children&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2026\/07\/21\/world\/france-becomes-the-first-eu-country-to-ban-social-media-for-children\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">passed a bill<\/a> banning social media for anyone under 15. President Emmanuel Macron is expected to sign it into law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">However, something is happening that, at first glance, seems contradictory. Many of the organizations that have spent years researching these risks and defending children\u2019s rights are not supporting such bans. On the contrary, they warn that disconnecting children from these spaces might address the symptoms but leave the root causes of the problem intact\u2014and could even create new risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Australia\u2019s measure was hailed internationally and held up as a model. Six months after its implementation, however, <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/research\/under-the-new-age-restrictions-early-insights-from-australian-parents\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/research\/under-the-new-age-restrictions-early-insights-from-australian-parents&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esafety.gov.au\/research\/under-the-new-age-restrictions-early-insights-from-australian-parents\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">seven out of 10 parents<\/a> reported that their children still have accounts on Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat. This is not surprising. Not only because adolescence is typically a time of rebellion but also because it is natural to resist being excluded from spaces where a large part of their social life takes place and where the people they\u2019ve grown up with are hanging out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Social media platforms are much more than just entertainment for young people, especially for those who grew up during the Covid-19 pandemic. Comparing them to cigarettes ignores the fact that they also serve important functions. They are spaces for socializing, learning, and accessing information that is often unavailable elsewhere, especially in places where educational gaps and disparities in access to public services persist. Generally speaking, how many times has Reddit saved us with an answer we couldn\u2019t find in a textbook, at school, or at a public institution? And how many times has a YouTube tutorial or a thread on X taught us something that no one else explained to us?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Furthermore, social media can provide a sense of community and a space for self-expression to those who don\u2019t always find it outside the internet. For teenagers who belong to historically marginalized groups\u2014such as LGBTQ+ people, people of color, or people with disabilities\u2014these spaces can also offer an opportunity to explore and build their identities with greater freedom, find role models, and feel less alone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Precisely because social media is much more than just entertainment, it is worth asking whether some solutions might simply replace one harm with another. Age verification, for example, involves collecting highly sensitive data, making platforms more attractive to cybercriminals and putting the privacy and safety of minors at risk. This is not a hypothetical. When Discord implemented its age verification system in 2025, it suffered a <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/press-releases\/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service\" class=\"external-link text link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/discord.com\/press-releases\/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.com\/press-releases\/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">data breach involving more than 70,000 identity documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/banning-social-media-for-kids-is-a-bad-idea\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is clear that social media affects mental health and poses a danger to children and adolescents.
