Adolescence writer suggests social media ban for kids

Article here. Excerpt:

'The writer of the Netflix drama Adolescence has suggested that children should be denied access to social media to protect them from toxic ideas online.

Jack Thorne, together with actor Stephen Graham, created the drama series about 13-year-old boy Jamie, who is accused of murdering a girl at his school.

The series tackles themes of bullying, incel culture – incel is short for involuntary celibacy – and navigating social media as a young person.

Bristol-born Mr Thorne said: "We do believe perhaps the answer to this is in parliament and legislating – and taking kids away from their phones in school and taking kids away from social media altogether."'
