Greece is currently leading the way, and other European countries want to follow suit: social media channels on TikTok, YouTube or Instagram should be banned from children and young people’s screens. The reason: More and more studies are seeing a connection between long-term social media use and psychological and physical problems among students. In addition, there are problematic content such as fatal role models, violence or pornography, which children and young people are confronted with at an early age. This is what a student said on Wednesday in the ZiB 2that she had already seen people shot or naked. “Twelve-year-olds shouldn’t see something like that.” Definitely not.
