Danish politician Özlem Cekic criticizes the hypocrisy of politicians who urge young people to limit their social media use while actively posting about their own vacations online. Cekic argues that if politicians genuinely believe in reducing screen time, they must demonstrate that commitment by disconnecting themselves. She challenges them to resist the pressure to curate a perfect online image during their time off. The core of her argument centers on leading by example and accepting the consequences – such as algorithmic penalties for infrequent posting – rather than contributing to the very cycle they condemn. Cekic suggests that politicians should model healthy digital habits instead of fueling the constant stream of idealized content on social media. This stance encourages a more authentic and responsible approach to technology use by public figures. Ultimately, she believes this will lend more credibility to their advice regarding young people's social media engagement.
