Should the EU ban young people from accessing social media? @giovannamas.bsky.social, Brian O'Neill & @sonialivingstone.bsky.social @lsemedia.bsky.social @eukidsonline.bsky.social the EU should regulate platforms, not restrict children’s access to digital life @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social

Why mandating and enforcing EU regulation is preferable to a social media ban

Should the EU ban young people from accessing social media? Rather than restricting children’s access to digital life, the EU should regulate platforms instead.

Last month, outgoing PM Keir Starmer announced the UK Government’s decision to ban social media for under 16s. But this legislation doesn’t protect children, argues Kim Ringmar Sylwander @lsemedia.bsky.social. Responsibility must be placed on the tech companies @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social

A social media ban for under 16s doesn’t protect children | LSE British Politics

One of Starmer's last policy decisions was the social media ban for under 16s. While popular with parents, the decision was rushed and not supported by evidence.

My MSc thesis has been published by the Department of Media and Communications at LSE! I examined how security technologies and practices are used to disproportionately control caste and class-oppressed domestic workers in Noida’s gated communities. Read it here: www.lse.ac.uk/media-and-co...

The cover page of thesis: Media@LSE MSc Dissertation Series Editors: Simidele Dosekun, Zichen Hu TITLE: A Very Like-minded Community: Surveillance Infrastructure in India’s Gated Communities by Snigdha AdilABSTRACT Gated communities are rapidly mushrooming across urban India as the upper-middle class elite seek exclusive access to public spaces, without the intrusion of the working class. However, this project of caste and class-based exclusion is complicated by their dependence on the working class for service labour. This has led to the rise of a booming domestic security sector, where increasingly advanced surveillance technologies are being developed to meet the elite demand for ‘safety’ from the threat represented by the working class. Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with residents and security guards in a gated community in Noida, India, this paper investigates how the elite aspiration for ‘safety’ in domestic spaces is enacted through investment into surveillance infrastructures that target oppressed- caste/class domestic and service workers. Drawing on Jasanoff and Kim’s framework of ‘socio-technical imaginaries’, I centre banal forms of technological surveillance, that have been sidelined by the dominant policy-centric discourse. In studying caste/class-based surveillance, I argue against the assumption of pre-existing caste/class-based ‘collectives’, to instead examine how these collectives come into being in the first place through processes of mediation. First, surveillance infrastructures enable the circulation of affects—including fear and care—that construct oppositional collectives of ‘criminal Others’ and ‘like-minded insiders’. Second, fragmented surveillance infrastructures generate systemic ignorances among guards and residents, thus stabilising a socio-technical imaginary of ‘safety’ that necessitates caste/class-based surveillance as a moral imperative.
