About this Event
This policy debate hosted by the UC Riverside School of Public Policy will discuss whether the government should prohibit minors from accessing social media.
Proponents of this ban believe that social media exposes children to psychological effects, including links to depression, mental health, and lessened attention spans. However, opponents argue that banning social media will infringe on personal freedoms, parental rights, and freedom of speech. Opponents of this policy may also emphasize the educational and social benefits of social media and the challenges of enforcing a nationwide restriction. The policy debate will consider the conflict between protecting minors from social media and preserving their rights.
