Will banning social media for children under 16 help?

A person using a social network

The Spanish government wants to ban young people from social media until they are 16. That's why we're dedicating this weekend's dossier to considering whether this measure can be implemented and, if so, whether it would be sufficient. We review the situation in several countries that have implemented similar restrictions and speak with experts about the appropriateness (or otherwise) of such restrictions. In addition, Albert Cuesta will detail what controls can be implemented on minors' devices to ensure a safer experience.
