00:00Australia's plan to ban the use of social media

00:06to young people under the age of 16

00:09has a similar agenda in the Philippines

00:12which is also considered to be the social media capital of the world.

00:16Jonathan Andal was the one who pointed it out.

00:22Because of the possibility of children being put in danger

00:25because of what they see, read, or get to know on the internet,

00:29there are those who are worried about how to protect them, especially the minors.

00:33Mommy Sheng has a mobile app that can monitor the children's cellphones.

00:37She can lock it so that she won't be able to use her phone.

00:41If her accounts are logged in on one of my cellphones,

00:44I will know, I will view their watch history.

00:47She said that this is her way to control the use of the children's cellphones,

00:50especially the social media,

00:52which has content that is not suitable for children.

00:55If the algorithm that they follow or like is the sexy ones,

01:00the revealing ones,

01:02that's what they show.

01:03Of course, since she's still young, 13,

01:05she might think that this is okay.

01:07Because of this, Mommy Sheng is in favor of the news of Australia's plan

01:12to ban the use of social media to young people under the age of 16.

01:16Social media is doing social harm to our young Australians,

01:21and I am calling time on it.

01:24The safety and mental health of our young people has to be a priority.

01:29In the Philippines, there is a law that wants to ban the use of social media

01:34to young people under the age of 12.

01:36That's just a few.

01:37If you see the majority of our young ones,

01:40they don't really monitor our parents.

01:43The government needs to come in to protect the next generation.

01:47We will talk to the Committee on Rules,

01:49and we will also talk to the Speaker

01:51to give attention to this problem of our young people.

01:55In UNICEF's study in 2020,

01:57in the Philippines, young people are the first to be exposed online at the age of 10.

02:02They go online 2 hours a day.

02:04Most of the young people who go online use social media.

02:076 out of the 100 young Filipinos have regular conversations

02:11that they just met on social media.

02:13One in every 7 young people has already met someone they just met online.

02:18But Ms. Micares doesn't want social media to be banned for minors

02:22because she has a lot of benefits.

02:25Her 5-year-old son has his own social media account

02:29and is able to edit and upload videos.

02:32My 5-year-old son is able to edit his own videos.

02:39When I was young, I couldn't do it.

02:42He will ask for permission to edit and upload.

02:46I can see that.

02:47And then to the messenger, if he wants to say something,

02:52if he has a chat with a relative, he will tell me first.

02:57So it's still guidance from the parents.

03:02According to sociologist Samuel Cabuag,

03:05more than banning for minors,

03:07contents on social media platforms should be regulated.

03:11Technically, 13-year-olds are not allowed on social media.

03:17But we can see on our feed, on Reels, on the For You page,

03:25kids are still uploading.

03:27So even if we say there's a ban, they're still able to go there.

03:33The best way to fix this is to make harmful content for kids.

03:44For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jonathan Andal.

03:47Stay tuned for 24 Hours.
