Social Media Ban Debate for Kids | Glasgow News

The US Surgeon General just declared social media a health hazard, urging warning labels like those on cigarettes — sparking a national debate. Parents and teens have long warned about its impact on developing minds, while some politicians push for a ban on under-16s, framing it as a kids’ rights victory. But critics argue a ban could backfire, saying safety lies in education, not exclusion. Unlike cigarettes or alcohol, social media is everywhere — in homes, schools, workplaces — making bans impractical. The real question? Is the problem kids using it, or the platforms designing it? Both sides agree on safety, but disagree fiercely on how to achieve it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
