Columnist: Efforts to shield children from social media target the wrong problem
Original: Jussi Erosen kolumni: Somen haittoja lapsille ja nuorille on ehkäisty väärässä päässä ongelmaa Keinot suojata nuoria som
Columnist Jussi Eronen writes in the Finnish public broadcaster Yle that measures to protect children and young people from social media harms have been ineffective tinkering that failed to address the real sources of the problem. He argues policymakers have lacked the courage to tackle the actual causes behind the harms, and that current approaches intervene at the wrong end of the issue.
Why now: The column challenges current Finnish and European approaches to protecting minors online, sparking debate about where responsibility for social media harms truly lies.
