Ireland launched an investigation into social media platform X on Tuesday. Some government ministers have made no secret of the fact that they want social media banned for children in Ireland. Tánaiste Simon Harris said he believed social media companies were "experimenting" on the mental health of our youth and said he supported a ban on the platforms for under-16s. Ministers' calls for a ban focus on restricting access for minors below sixteen due to mental health concerns.
