Young People, Social Media and the Law

Challenging the notion that social media is detrimental to youth, this book highlights its potential as a platform for civic engagement and empowerment. It critiques the legal focus on protecting young people's online presence, which often leads to suspicion and criminalization of their activities. By integrating sociological insights and diverse legal perspectives, the author advocates for a more progressive understanding of children and youth, suggesting that social media can play a crucial role in their participation as active citizens.
