The conversation surrounding smartphone access for individuals under 18 has sparked significant discourse about parental responsibilities. Experts assert that parents are critical in guiding their children's technology use. Highlighting the absence of parental mention in current proposals raises concerns about a one-size-fits-all approach that does not accommodate individual family dynamics.
Proposed policies to restrict smartphone access for minors have raised various concerns. While some believe that the initiative aims to protect young individuals from the dangers of unregulated social media usage, others argue that such measures overlook the potential benefits that responsible social media engagement can offer. Finding alternative solutions that empower families might be more beneficial.
Determining the appropriate age for smartphone access remains a point of contention. While discussions have suggested 16 as a standard age, critics argue that it does not reflect the reality of many minors' maturity. Striving for a balanced approach that respects both the parents' authority and the adolescents' needs could lead to a more comprehensive solution that nurtures responsible technology use.
In a recent discussion surrounding social media and technology access for minors, there has been significant debate concerning the proposal to restrict smartphone ownership for individuals under the age of 18. Critics of this idea argue that such a blanket policy fails to recognize the importance of parental involvement in guiding children's use of technology. While there are dangers associated with unregulated social media use, many experts believe that empowering parents to set limits is a more effective approach than outright bans. One of the key points raised in the discussion is the lack of mention of parents in the proposed policy. Advocates argue that parents play a crucial role in monitoring and educating their children about safe technology use. Cases where older minors use social media responsibly demonstrate that with proper guidance, social media can yield positive outcomes. As parent advocates call for more dialogue around this topic, it’s clear the role of families in managing tech access is fundamental to the conversation. In the context of the policy's potential implementation, discussions have emerged regarding the age at which young individuals can access smartphones. While 16 has emerged as a proposed standard, critics argue that this may be unnecessarily restrictive, particularly given that minors can engage in various productive activities like working part-time jobs earlier. Finding a balanced approach that respects both parental authority and the developmental needs of children is paramount in navigating this complex issue. The conversation is ongoing, and stakeholders from various sectors continue to weigh in on the ramifications of such policies for the younger generation.Its not about kids on SM. Its about making the digital ID mandatory for everyone 16yrs and older.
It will be interesting to see Europe eventually wake up to the fact that their entire society has fallen prey to a decades-old plan coming from outside the union.
So what he is saying is that Dutton would regulate parental supervision, is that right. More of Duttons police nation plan.
Peter Dutton & the Coalition have been pushing to implement Orwellian facial recognition technology for years, will it finally happen if the under 16 social media ban gets passed. Dutton’s push for facial recognition technology started when he was Home Affairs Minister: In 2018 ALL state governments handed over our drivers’ licences to the Federal Government to develop facial recognition technology together with our passport photos, Dutton said it would help law enforcement crack down on identity crime. In 2019 the facial recognition system was dubbed “The Capability”. In 2020 the facial recognition system data base was rejected by a parliamentary committee with concerns about privacy and human rights. 2024 – The push to raise the minimum age for kids using social media - Dutton said he would make it happen in the first 100 days under a future coalition government, promising to roll out an age verification system across the country. The Digital ID, Age Verification and MAD bills etc need the people to vote on them via a referendum as these representatives are not listening to their voters and many of us a fed up with them voting along party lines for their globalists masters and not in the interest of the people.
Nothing to do with parents & nothing to do with protecting teens, it is about 1 thing, FORCING people to get digital ID as a requirement to create any social media account to prove you are of legal age. The protecting children from harm line is merely the justification for this tyrannical overreach & the first example of the voluntary digital ID becoming mandatory.
