In Australia, a revolutionary decision is about to be made. The government is taking action to ban children from social media, but a major debate has already erupted in the country about whether this is even possible.
It’s impossible to completely remove children from social media. Simply banning phone use in schools could be considered, but this wouldn’t prevent young people from using social media.
Of course, it’s essential to remove not only children but also adults from social media. Because social media has a toxic side. People are now making decisions based on images on social media, not on details. Thanks to social media, people are beginning to appear different than they actually are, and their original appearances on social media have become completely different. Worse, thanks to social media, people are being forced to choose a lifestyle based on the likes they receive. Unfortunately, the more they are viewed, the more they are convinced they are doing the right thing. To increase their audience and followers, they have begun to act like them, doing what they want, abandoning their original identities, and even hiding them. In other words, they have essentially turned themselves into monkeys. They designed their lives around the lives of others to garner more views and followers.
As a result, social media has created a different kind of person: a group of people who have names, professions, and titles, but who have lost their true identities on social media.
