Addictive Algorithms Land Social Media Giants in Court

Andrew Urquhart discusses the complexities of social media regulation, highlighting the mixed results of Australia's ban on under-16s accessing social media. While some parents report positive effects, others note negative consequences, raising questions about enforcement and the effectiveness of such bans.

He also addresses the ongoing legal cases in the United States, where companies are being held accountable for the addictive nature of their algorithms. Andrew emphasises the need for transparency and shared responsibility among parents and tech companies to protect young people from harm, suggesting that legislation alone may not suffice to address these challenges.
