Kids keep outsmarting social media bans

Original: Kids are outsmarting social media bans. That's not a problem we need to solve

An MIT Technology Review argument holds that children routinely circumvent age-based social media bans, and that this should not be treated as a problem to fix. The piece questions whether enforcement against evasion is the right goal, prompting debate among readers about age restrictions, parental responsibility and whether bans work at all.

Why now: Governments are imposing or debating age-based social media bans, and the argument challenges whether closing loopholes should even be the aim.
