The EU is edging closer to restricting social media for children. But this step would not be without contention. Why is it stirring debate? And what is needed to the ban's implementation?
Spot on, Theo. A hard ban is basically playing on Extreme mode, and kids will just find a glitch or a workaround to keep their streaks alive.
