Slovak psychologist Viktor Križo is advocating for a ban on social media access for individuals under the age of 16, arguing it poses significant risks to children. Križo contends that parents lack sufficient oversight of their children’s online activity and exposure to potential dangers. He believes a ban represents a necessary initial step in protecting young people from online threats. The psychologist highlights a concerning trend of children missing out on crucial play-based development, replaced by dopamine-driven engagement with social media platforms. He further suggests this constant stimulation is negatively impacting the developing brains of children. The interview explores the reasoning behind the proposed ban and the neurological effects of social media use on young people.
