Australia is considering a ban on social media for children under 16, a solution seemingly out of step with the current digital age.
This proposed law, while intending to safeguard children, might inadvertently push them toward less-regulated online spaces.
Instead of a blanket ban, collaboration between parents, schools, and tech companies could offer more effective solutions.
Empowering parents with resources and tools to guide their children's online experiences is crucial for responsible digital citizenship.
