Debate flares over strawman arguments on children's media use

Original: Unsinnige Strohfeuerargumente, damit man die Ursache nicht bekämpft und selbst keine Medienkompetenz vermitteln muss. Di

A debate is unfolding in German-speaking online circles over how society handles children's smartphone and media use. Commenters are criticising strawman arguments — such as the claim that nine-year-olds are not allowed to drive cars either — calling them polemical and factually flawed. Critics argue such comparisons dodge the real cause and let adults off the hook from teaching media literacy to children.

Why now: Ongoing public controversy about age limits and media literacy for children using smartphones and social media.
