Parents urged to buy ‘dumb’ phones to protect children from social media

Very interesting article. It’s everything that we’ve been discussing here on the forum:
The article discusses a movement led by the UK’s National Education Union and parents urging the purchase of ‘dumb’ phones for teenagers to protect them from the adverse effects of social media. It highlights the link between social media’s addictive nature and declining teenage mental health, advocating for phones that restrict access to harmful content while allowing essential functions like maps and banking.
