18 Jun
Summary
- Teen DJ fears social media ban would have prevented career.
- Proposed ban aims to protect under-16s from harmful online content.
- Social media crucial for young entrepreneurs to reach audiences.
A proposed ban on social media for individuals under 16 could significantly hinder the career development of young entrepreneurs, according to 16-year-old DJ Sam Seven. He stated that without access to platforms like YouTube and Instagram, his own career as a DJ and promoter of 'Wasted Club', a sustainable club night for under-18s, would not have taken off.
The DJ explained that social media was instrumental in his ability to connect with people, learn new techniques, and amplify his message, enabling him to establish his business. He believes that focusing solely on the negative aspects of social media overlooks its benefits for young people in terms of creativity, entrepreneurship, and cultural engagement.
