Kids keep outsmarting social media bans, and that may be fine
Original: Kids are outsmarting social media bans. That's not a problem we need to solve
An MIT Technology Review opinion piece argues that children are circumventing age restrictions and social media bans faster than regulators can enforce them, and suggests this should not be treated as a problem requiring a fix. The article pushes back on growing efforts worldwide to restrict minors' access to platforms, framing kids' workarounds as a sign that blanket bans may be the wrong approach.
Why now: Governments are rolling out or debating social media age bans for minors, sparking debate over whether enforcement or the bans themselves are the real issue.
