"Launching new teen accounts in Ireland, Meta's global head of safety, Antigone Davis, said that parents should step up to judge whether content their kids see is 'free speech' or 'harmful'."
"She also said kids need to be allowed to engage in the public world on social media platforms in a post-Charlie Kirk world and that EU ID cards could help to keep underage kids offline."
Parents in Ireland should increasingly decide whether the content their young teenagers encounter online constitutes free speech or is harmful. Parental judgment should play a larger role in shielding young teens from harmful material while allowing them to participate in public social media discourse. Adolescents should retain the ability to engage on social platforms even amid contentious public figures and debates. Implementation of EU identity cards for age verification could help prevent underage children from creating accounts. Launching teen accounts and stronger parental oversight combined with robust age-verification measures can balance youth safety and freedom of expression.
