Estonia is the rare EU country opposing child social media bans

""The way to approach this, to me, is not to make kids responsible for that harm and start self-regulating. Kids will find very quickly the ways to go around and to still use social media.""

""Europe pretends to be weak when it comes to big American and international corporations. But that is a pretense; we need to actually take this power and start regulating the big American corporations.""

Estonia's education minister opposes social media bans for children, stating they won't solve underlying issues. She highlights that children will find ways to bypass restrictions. While many countries have enacted or considered bans due to social media's negative impacts, such as depression and obesity, Kallas believes the responsibility lies with governments and corporations to regulate effectively. She warns that these bans could lead to an erosion of basic freedoms, urging the EU to take stronger action against large corporations.
