Responsible technology: limit the use of smartphones and social media by children and teenagers

All over the world, educators, parents and experts are advocating for more regulation on use of technology by children and teenagers. Some are advocating for a complete ban on social media for under 16s or prohibiting mobile phone use in schools, while others are pushing for a more nuanced approach, with exceptions for certain platforms or teenagers with parental consent. Many also oppose regulation, believing that teenagers should have a right to choose how they interact with the digital world.
