Abstract

This essay evaluates the global push for social media bans, weighing the arguments for and against them, while examining how such restrictions impact children’s digital rights. Deconstructing the debate, I ask fundamental questions, including what is the ban about, why ban, how did we get here, who gets to decide, and most importantly—what do the children want?
