Uuden Mediemyndigheten-tutkimuksen mukaan seitsemän kymmenestä nuoresta kannattaa sosiaalisen median ikärajaa, mieluiten 15 vuotta. Rakel Skagerbergin mukaan nuoret käyttäjät ovat helpommin vaikutuksille alttiita. Tutkimuksessa haastateltiin 1 745 15-24-vuotiasta.

Tuore Mediemyndigheten-tutkimus paljastaa, että seitsemän kymmenestä 15-24-vuotiaasta nuoresta kannattaa ikärajaa sosiaalisessa mediassa. Useimmat sitä kannattavat ehdottavat raja-arvoksi 15 vuotta. Kyselyyn vastasi 1 745 osallistujaa. Noin 67 prosenttia on täysin tai osittain samaa mieltä siitä, että ikärajan tarkistamisesta olisi hyötyä. Tärkeimpinä syinä mainitaan epärealistiset vartaloideaalit, verkossa esiintyvä viha ja uhkailu sekä mielenterveydelle aiheutuvat haitat. Rakel Skagerberg toteaa: "Mitä nuorempi olet, sitä helpommin sinuun vaikutetaan." Kaikki eivät ole samaa mieltä. Farhan Hujja Tulla varoittaa: "Mielestäni pitäisi olla toinen tapa. Ikärajojen käyttöönotosta voi tulla enemmän rajoittavaa kuin hyödyllistä." Tulokset korostavat nuorten huolta haitallisesta sisällöstä, raportoidaan Uppsalassa.
