Episode 22: No Likes Before Puberty: The Social Media Ban for Teens
Manage episode 493769012 series 3646088
What happens when governments try to ban teenagers from social media? Sharon and Karen dive into the growing trend of social media restrictions for young people, examining Texas's proposed legislation for under-18s. The sisters find rare common ground in their skepticism about whether these bans will actually work or can be meaningfully enforced.
Drawing on their experiences as parents who've navigated the digital landscape with their now-grown children, they explore the challenges parents face in monitoring online activities and protecting kids from potential dangers.
