Adolescents and Social Media: Should Access Be Restricted?

Title: Adolescents and Social Media: Should Access Be Restricted?

Content: This afternoon, the topic on Au Cœur de l’Info is "Adolescents and Social Media: Should Access Be Restricted?"

The digital world is evolving at a breakneck pace, much faster than the governance frameworks designed to regulate it. While social media provides opportunities for learning, expression, and social connections, it also exposes adolescents to very real risks such as addiction, cyberbullying, and social pressure.

In response to these issues, Australia and then France have opted to restrict access to digital platforms for younger users. Should Mauritius follow suit?

This debate will be addressed starting at 5:00 PM on Radio Plus and on the Défi Media Group platforms.

Prem Sewpaul will host:

• Avinash Meetoo, IT expert and director of Knowledge Seven;

• Nicolas Soopramanien, clinical psychologist;

• Sergeant Sameerkhan Roshanally from the Cyber Crime Unit of the police;

• Kunal Naik, addiction specialist, via video conference.
