Do social media bans for kids under 16 actually work?

The opposition party in Nova Scotia tabled a bill proposing a social media ban for anyone under 16. But the governing Conservatives say what the Liberal bill proposes "is not possible at the provincial level" and that "it would require federal action"to implement.

Critics warn bans like these don't work and that kids will just find workarounds or possibly be pushed toward even riskier platforms.

Our question: Should children under 16 be banned from TikTok or other social media apps?
