If you did a word association test for when you say, tick-tock – I wonder how many young people would familiarize it with a clock?
Social media most certainly should be banned for under 16. We are losing generations already walking around with their face buried in a screen, mimicking their parents. Ignoring any actual interaction with life, to an exploitable degree for any teenager.
Australia has taken the bold move of prohibiting social media to minors. I 100 percent agree, considering the heavy influence people have over young impressionable minds. I applaud the government of Australia for this leadership.
The same will never happen in America. In America the capitalists have the young people’s money linked to their parent’s purse, in such a way that they target the young to get the parents money.
Australia clearly does not placed capitalism above democracy. Kudos for that.
