Let me start by saying that I do not agree with bans, I believe that digital education is a more effective solution in the medium and long term.

However, I can only underline with admiration Australia’s scientific approach: at the same time as the ban came into force, a study cohort was created to verify the positive and negative effects of the measure adopted.

  1. Dalla presentazione dello studio linkata:
    “The research will recruit more than 2000 parents of young people aged nine to 15, before and after the implementation of the ban on 10 December 2025, to understand how the new laws are affecting families and if the ban makes it easier or more challenging for parents navigating their child’s social media use. “

    Come fai a misurarne gli effetti se non inizi a raccogliere dati prima che la misura venga adottata?

    Mamma mia, le basi

  4. Cos’hanno a che vedere i social con l’istruzione digitale? Puoi imparare a usare i computer e i tablet senza i social

  5. Vengo dall’Australia e ho lavorato molto nel governo. Purtroppo, questi istituti di ricerca sono solitamente corrotti e vengono consultati solo per spuntare una casella.
