Academics have outlined how to keep children safe on smartphones after the Netflix blockbuster Adolescence shows the dark online world of toxic ideologies children can be sucked into
Experts warn that smartphone bans are a temporary solution to protect children from online dangers highlighted by Netflix's "Adolescence." They advocate for educating children on safe social media and internet use, as bans alone don't equip them with necessary skills and haven't shown improvements in well-being or academic performance. Experts recommend child-appropriate app settings and family engagement with technology. They call for a balanced approach, emphasizing education and product safety alongside debates on bans.
