Stephanie said “Make an age restriction on social media, any younger than 18, make it more strict for that account”
Karen said “A law for the police They can use it to help them. Prevent them for breaking laws”
Stephanie added “Depends on the internet” We carried on talking about how much has changed on social media and mentioned Meta before we got to that slide also they mentioned issues on misinformation as Stephanie said “Politicians say something that they don’t mean”
Everyone enjoyed the session and want to do more on social media and misinformation.
