Drastic. Australia led the way by banning social media for children under 16\u2014the law comes into effect on December 10, 2025, and affects ten platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, Snapchat, and Reddit. The United Kingdom is considering similar measures with the stated goal of &quot;giving children back their childhood.&quot; Public health is invoked, and\u2014rightly\u2014a wealth of scientific studies are cited linking compulsive scrolling to anxiety, depression, cyberbullying, and sleep disorders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All very well. But there&#039;s a huge elephant in the room. And that elephant is us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Age Bluff (What Science Says)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While governments raise age barriers, psychological research dismantles our certainties. A comparative study published in the\u2019<em>International Journal of Indian Psychology<\/em>&nbsp;He analyzed levels of internet addiction and emotional maturity among adolescents and adults. The results are a cold shower for Sunday moralists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>We are dependent in the exact same way.<\/strong>\u00a0There&#039;s no statistical difference in addiction levels between teenagers and adults. We surf, scroll, and alienate ourselves with the same relentlessness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Age does not make digital wise.<\/strong>\u00a0Emotional maturity doesn&#039;t magically increase with age when there&#039;s a screen involved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The emotional escape.<\/strong>\u00a0There&#039;s a clear correlation between internet addiction and emotional immaturity. Put simply, we use our smartphones compulsively as an anesthetic to avoid dealing with boredom, frustration, or loneliness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when we see an adult waging a &quot;holy war&quot; in Facebook comments or isolating themselves during a family dinner, we&#039;re not seeing a mature person using technology. We&#039;re seeing the exact same escape mechanism as a sixteen-year-old. Just with a few more wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If even dogs get depressed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the most tragicomic\u2014and painful\u2014side effect of our digital inattention doesn&#039;t just affect our children. It affects our dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers in the United Kingdom have documented that dogs whose owners spend time staring at their smartphones develop symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dogs are social creatures: they thrive on eye contact, body language, and attention signals. When we&#039;re constantly engrossed in our Instagram feed, our pets perceive that dull, slumped face as a form of rejection. They stop socializing, change their eating habits, and develop destructive behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Digital betrayal<\/em>We ignore our kids, we ignore our partners, and we even break our dog\u2019s heart\u2014all to watch videos of someone else pretending to have a great life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited.jpeg 1366w, https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited-18x10.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Sad_dog_at_owners_feet_202606151434-edited-1320x742.jpeg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Ban or to Cultivate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restrictive laws are already showing the first cracks. According to a survey by the Molly Rose Foundation, among minors who still manage to access banned platforms, 70% said circumventing the ban was &quot;easy.&quot; VPNs, despite platforms being required to detect and block them, remain a widespread tool. And the overall results of the Australian measure, six months after it came into force, are described by CNBC as &quot;mixed&quot;: some kids have embraced new habits, others have simply shifted the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because technology shouldn&#039;t be shut down by decree. And the real risk is a boomerang effect: depriving young people of even the positive aspects of the internet\u2014the search for community for those who are isolated, the exploration of their own identity, creativity, activism\u2014without addressing the root of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real issue isn&#039;t chronological age. It&#039;s the emotional education about technology, which we adults lack as much as they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Freedom Fighters (with wallet)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is another actor on stage, and he plays the most cynical part of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The major platforms\u2014Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat\u2014have spent the last year vocally opposing the Australian law, waving two noble banners: freedom of enterprise and the freedom of expression of minors. A seemingly seductive argument. Unfortunately, the same companies have since demonstrated, in practice, that they are incapable\u2014or willing\u2014to enforce even the rules they themselves had committed to. In March 2026, the Australian eSafety Commissioner opened a formal investigation against Meta, YouTube, and TikTok for violating the ban: the platforms were still allowing minors to access their services, were not asking for their age, and were not blocking new accounts. They risked fines of up to $34 million each.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/society-equity\/australia-investigates-tech-giants-over-social-media-ban-compliance-2026-03-30\/\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aB9sk_wkyik\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/ce86381p70eo\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#039;s not incompetence. It&#039;s a business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The algorithms of these platforms are not designed to keep you safe, but to <a href=\"https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/en\/sei-mesi-senza-social-digital-detox\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"824\">to hold you\u00a0<em>in<\/em><\/a>. For as long as possible. According to an internal report cited by Reuters, in 2024 alone, approximately 101 TP3T of Meta&#039;s advertising revenue\u2014over $16 billion\u2014would be derived from fraudulent content. Around the same time, Zuckerberg announced the abolition of external fact-checkers: from now on, users will decide what&#039;s true. He called this decision &quot;freedom of expression.&quot; His lawyers reportedly called it &quot;traffic optimization.&quot;.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rsi.ch\/info\/dialogo\/I-colossi-tecnologici-guadagnano-con-le-notizie-false--3476584.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elon Musk, for his part, has turned X into a megaphone for algorithmic extremism: <a href=\"https:\/\/ilrickyverso.it\/en\/economia-della-rabbia-rage-baiting-sicurezza\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"494\">incitement to hatred<\/a>, Manipulation and fake news aren&#039;t system bugs\u2014they&#039;re features that maximize engagement.

But they are the first to fail to make those services safe. Meanwhile, a New Mexico jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million for failing to protect minors from online exploitation. Welcome to surveillance capitalism, where the well-being of a child is worth exactly what it costs to lose them as users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The mirror we don&#039;t want to look at<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before invoking a &quot;nanny state&quot; that would legally take away smartphones from sixteen-year-olds, try answering these questions honestly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many times have you checked your phone during your last family dinner? Or has your dog looked at you without you actually seeing him? How many times have you called?\u00a0<em>digital laziness<\/em>\u00a0what, in a teenager, you would call\u00a0<em>dependence<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real work isn&#039;t what governments do. It&#039;s what we do, every day, with screens in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps, instead of waiting for a law, we should start doing something much more difficult, intimate, and revolutionary: look at what our screen reflects. And then put it on the table, apologize to the dog, and take him for a walk. Looking him in the eye.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#039;s a great, reassuring myth that we adults love to tell ourselves before bed\u2014strictly with our smartphones on the nightstand: &quot;Young people today are lost in a screen; we need to save them from themselves.&quot; We lull ourselves into this generational superiority, convinced that our birth certificate automatically awards us the title of &quot;village wise men.&quot; The answer of\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kb_optimizer_status":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"wpai_generated_summary":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,508],"tags":[581,277,754,656,756,755,133,85,280],"class_list":["post-1003","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pensieri","category-societa","tag-adolescenti","tag-algoritmi-social","tag-australia","tag-big-tech","tag-cani-e-smartphone","tag-dipendenza-digitale","tag-fake-news","tag-salute-mentale","tag-social-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Divieto Social Under 16: e se i veri immaturi fossimo noi?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mentre i governi vietano i social ai minori di 16 anni, la scienza svela che gli adulti sono dipendenti allo stesso modo.
