The Finnish government has decided against legislating to restrict young people’s social media use. This decision has prompted media experts to debate the core issue of social media problems: whether they stem from children’s usage or from adult behavior. The discussion centers on the idea that adults may be attempting to shift responsibility for their own online mistakes onto younger generations. Experts are questioning who truly struggles with social media – the children using it, or the adults involved. The government’s choice signals a reluctance to impose legal controls on online platforms specifically targeting youth. This leaves open the question of how to address potential harms caused by social media without direct legal intervention. The debate underscores the broader societal implications of social media use across all age groups in Finland.
