Listen "How to make social media safer for kids"
Episode Synopsis
This week, Meta announced its new "PG-13 guidelines" for teen account settings on Instagram. The push to make the app safer for kids comes as countries like Australia have moved to ban social media for children under 16, with jurisdictions like Nova Scotia, Quebec, France and Denmark considering similar legislation. On this episode of Just Asking, we take your questions about how to make social media safer for kids, and what parents and policymakers need to prioritize. Suzie Dunn is an Assistant Professor of Law and director of the Law and Technology Institute at Dalhousie University. Dr. Shimi Kang is a psychiatrist with Future Ready Minds, a counselling service for teens and families. She's also the author of "The Tech Solution: Creating Healthy Habits for Kids Growing Up in a Digital World."
