Episode Details

Jamaica’s health minister is eyeing a social media ban for kids under 16 to shield them from cyberbullying and predators, but critics warn blanket restrictions backfire—pushing kids into riskier spaces. Instead, experts urge smarter solutions: better digital literacy, safer platforms, and tech accountability. The UN reminds us kids’ rights include digital access, and while social media’s mental health toll isn’t proven, harm reduction is key. The real goal? A safer, smarter online world for young Jamaicans—not exclusion.
