Raynauld on Australia’s Social Media Ban for Minors: Tech News World
Communication Studies Associate Professor Vincent Raynauld shares his perspective on Australia’s recent decision to eliminate social media usage for those under the age of 16.
I think there needs to be a broader reflection about the fact that social media is here to stay.
You can prevent people from going on the platform, but they will eventually be using those platforms, whether it’s for recreational, social, or professional purposes, and I think that there needs to be recognition that training or at least education on use of social media and the effects of social media needs to take place.
