Should social media be banned for under 16s in Ireland?
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Ireland has signed a formal agreement with Australia social media regulators to study its social media ban for under 16s. This comes after a recent study by the RCSI found that body dissatisfaction and sexting are strongly associated with poorer mental health and increased risk of self-harm among Irish teenagers.
Joining Jonathan Healy to discuss is Irish Independent’s Tech Editor, Adrian Weckler.
