Welcome to the Serious Privacy podcast, where Ralph O'Brien , Dr. K Royal, and Paul Breitbarth explores the implications of proposed social media age restrictions in the UK to under 16s, through the insights of university student (and our editor!) Fey O'Brien, emphasising the importance of digital literacy and open communications.

As the debate surrounding social media age restrictions continues, it is vital to consider the implications for minors and their rights. Engaging with younger voices like Fey's adds depth to the discussion, illustrating the importance of balancing safety and freedom in the digital landscape. Instead of imposing blanket bans, fostering digital literacy and open communication can pave the way for a more informed generation of social media users.
