Health Minister Stephen Donnelly's proposal to ban social media for children under 16, while ambitious, raises significant concerns about the feasibility and implications for personal privacy and freedom.
Donnelly's comparison of social media to cigarettes underscores the urgent need for protective measures; however, enforcing age limits raises questions about identity verification and access to public platforms.
Implementing a policy that requires adults to upload personal documents for social media access may deter engagement, but it doesn't address the broader issues of digital safety and responsibility.
While protecting children from social media's risks is crucial, the proposed measures must also consider the practical realities of technology use and the potential negative impact on user experience.
