Why Under-16 Social Media Bans Mean ID Checks for Everyone
Season 6
Episode 64
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Governments on four continents are moving to keep kids under 16 off social media. Some of the reasons are good. The way to enforce it might be worse.
In this episode, we walk the whole ledger: where Australia, the UK, France, the EU and Canada actually stand, the strongest case for restricting kids, why the science is far messier than either side admits, and the part that rarely makes the press release.
Is this overreach? argued from both sides, and a checklist for what would make age checks tolerable.
Tune in, unwind with your preferred cup of java.
