Young People, Social Media and the Law

Challenging the notion that social media is detrimental to youth, this book highlights its potential as a tool for civic engagement. It critiques the legal focus on protecting young people's online presence, which often leads to suspicion and criminalization of their use. By incorporating sociological insights on childhood and examining diverse legal frameworks, the author posits that social media can foster a more progressive understanding of children and youth, promoting their active participation in society.
