Press/Media: Press / Media

Description

The program investigates the international trend of regulating social media usage among young people. Specifically, it highlights Australia’s pioneering legislation as the first country to ban adolescents from using social media platforms. As other nations consider similar legislative action, this episode explores the debate in Hong Kong: whether the city should follow suit, the potential impacts of such a ban, and the challenges of enforcement in a digital age.
