Digital Wellbeing von Kindern. Ethische Perspektiven auf die Social-Media-Debatte angesichts aktueller Entwicklungen der KI
Abstract
This article discusses the current debate on banning social media from a media and AI ethics perspective and argues for a more nuanced approach. It is necessary to determine not only what social media is and what image of childhood is being used as a basis, but also what the goal of the measures is and what undesirable consequences and repercussions they may have. The core thesis of the article is that existing regulations must be differentiated, and law enforcement must be ensured. In addition, media regulation, that is more child-centered and empowerment are needed. This refers not only to media or AI skills, but also to digital maturity and digital wellbeing skills.
