THE QUICK BREAKDOWN
Understand both positions
A higher age threshold may reduce early exposure to online harms. Critics question enforcement and prefer family-led decisions and education.
The case for “Raise the minimum age”
Supporters prioritize the benefits represented by this choice and believe its advantages outweigh the risks or limitations.
The case for “Parents should decide”
Supporters of this position place greater weight on the alternative risks, trade-offs and possible unintended consequences.
Keep in mind
A strong answer depends on evidence, circumstances and which trade-off matters most—not simply which side is more popular.
