Singapore plans to introduce stronger safeguards for teens on social media, with legislation expected early next year. Measures could include daily time limits. But what do teenagers themselves think? Seven teens were asked who should decide what is safe for them to see online: teenagers, parents, social media platforms or the government. Four chose teenagers, two chose parents and one chose the platforms. “I did not hear the word 'government',” Talking Point host Diana Ser commented. Minister for Digital Development and Information Josephine Teo says the government is “not trying to decide on anyone’s behalf”, but wants teenagers to have “age-appropriate experiences” and “child-safe access” to social media.
