Briefly

Social media ban could stifle Gen Z's ambitions
"Social media has quietly become one of the best learning platforms for business. Young people promote their e-commerce shops and build digital product businesses from home, amassing audiences that established brands would envy."
"Despite good intentions, age-based restrictions have not guaranteed real-world results, as over 60 percent of young Australians continue to access restricted platforms with ease."
"With the cost-of-living putting increasing pressure on families and London recording the highest youth unemployment rate in the UK, taking away the entrepreneurial spirit from young people is counterproductive."
Protective restrictions for under-16s on social media are being debated, with countries like Australia implementing bans. However, many young Australians still access these platforms. Social media has become a significant learning tool for young entrepreneurs, allowing them to develop marketing and business skills. With rising youth unemployment and economic pressures, fostering this entrepreneurial spirit is crucial. The benefits of social media for learning and business development should not be overlooked amid safety concerns.
