rubutting to Wesley, some people might agree that social media can affect the mental state of a person that is still learning. However,most of the time social media helps them as it is easier for them to get information when they need help and social media is v high tech now cus theres a mode where it will keep the disturbing stuff from teenagers . kaixin

rebutting leyton.yes some my agree that social media shouldn't be banned but whats the point of having a time limit if thw way that social media harms teenagers is by teenagers coming across them. so yes there should be a time limit but no matter how long u put a time limit as long as the user is on social media they will come across it sooner or later.

Rebutting Hamnett

(Stand: I disagree that social media should be banned for teenagers.)

Some people may argue that teenagers are exposed to a large amount of negative content, which can lead to damage to the teenager's mood and even escalate to suicide.

However, this is too extreme of a reaction as it undermines the fact that this does not develop teenager's attitudes in scouring the internet in a increasingly digitalized world. Thereby, it would be preferable if instead programmes would be implemented to teach teenagers in proper internet etiquette and solutions should they encounter problems on the internet.

i think it should be banned for ages 12 and below. they are still very young and the phones could hurt their eyes and on social media they would meet all kinds of people including bad influences, it could change them (in a bad way).

Rebutting Marcus

Some may argue that some social media platforms shouldn't be accessible like reddit and twitter, as teens can search up stuff they aren't meant to search up which some people are underage and not meant to view this type of content. However, most people on these platform still post sensible content on the website.

Rebutting yuxin's post

I feel as if social media being banned for teenagers for being addicting and distracting is a bit extreme for the reason of reducing focus and productivity in school. I think that social media should be limited for teenagers instead of being fully banned as banning social media entirely would cause teenagers to become bored and not do anything productive anyway.

However, I believe that this ignores how much a variable the parent, the one proposed to monitor the children. This is because that the point where the parents 'step in' can be subjective, and up to the full discretion of the parents. For example, if the parents felt, in their own view, their children is distant even though in reality, they simply are allocating family time for newfound friend connections or using their mobile devices for studying, they could use this as justification to heavily restrict their children's screen time.

no i disagree, however i do believe that teenagers should have a time limit on apps like tik tok.

I disagree as social media can be beneficial in many ways. Some include, interacting with people online, expressing their thoughts and feelings. So instead of a ban, a more effective approach is to foster healthy online habits to not be addicted to the internet

i agree that social media should be banned for teenagers, because social media can be addicting and can become a distraction to their academic reducing focus and productivity in schoolwork. social media can also disturb your sleep leading to sleep disturbtion which can affect ur mental health

I disagree with that we should ban teenagers from the internet.

This is because I feel that even if we implement into our law that teens should not access social media as well as creating a firewall to enforce it, there is the problem that it simply be bypassed. For example, a teenager could simply search up on Google simple ways to circumvent the ban like using a VPN.

Another reason is that this requires the government to keep the teenager's information, which may be leaked and put may teens in danger when handled carelessly.

i think social media should be banned for teenagers only up to a certain age for example 15. After 15 onwards, they are free to use social media but with restrictions and filtered posts as to not negatively influence their mind. I had my phone at a young age and grew up on the internet so it stunted my mental growth in a way and negatively changed my perspective of the world

# data[].attributes.body
YES. Social media can expose people to things that are not for them, leading to distraction and causes depression and anxiety.

Studies show that Social Media can spread Misinformation, create addiction and create Data Vulnerabilities and might be Superficial

# data[].attributes.body
no, I don't think social media should be banned for teenagers as it does not cause any major harm to any teenagers who use it. But the content that they are shown on social media might give them bad thoughts and make them feel insecure or even suicidal.

it should be banned to an extent, where the parent should monitor the child's activities online if it gets to the extent that child can't open up to the parents itself. and should the parents step in.

i feel like social media should be banned to a certain extent as there are some apps that shouldn't be able to be accessible to teenagers like reddit or twitter because they are very specific and very vocal on their platforms like for example u can search up how to build a homemade bomb and if u look into the forums more u can find it, moreover twitter shows very gruesome and weird videos that teenagers should not be able to see , moreover teenagers have not developed their frontal lobe so what they see on social media will always be stuck in their brain like brainrot and gore. but there are some social media platforms that should be able to be used for teenagers like Instagram as they contain minimally disturbing videos and items . moreover Instagram can help u connect with other people as when u get home from school as a teenager u will want to talk to ur friend and Instagram can help u with that with their chats feature and u can laugh with ur friends with their short form videos . theres also a way to limit what ur watching with parental controls which can help u remove stuff that are disturbing or weird to teenagers . thus, yes social media should be banned but to a certain extent where u can have fun and chat with ur friends

no but it should have a age limit, if your kids are 1-12 then i do not think they should have access to social media or have a mobile device as it can be distracting towards their academics and they might watch things that they are not supposed to be watching. they also might learn some inappropriate or harmful things

# data[].attributes.body
no as theirs a thing called screen time on the mobile phone so if their parents want them to limit of them using their phone ,they can js set it kaixin

rebutting izzad's post

some people may disagree because its due to the idea that someone can bypass the firewall and also fake an identity to gain access to the internet because ai can't differentiate fake id and real id passes
