Answer: provoking thought and song plus … selfies after work.
Try out the exercise below.
Instructions for the written exercise: We have taken up hegemonies in news media ownership and social media empires. In addition, materials on social media regulation in the European Union have been made available to the class.
Last March 7, 2026, class members were assigned to read up on the components of the right to free expression and all the cases on prior restraint in all media including cyberspace.
Written Exercise on social media regulation: Please review all news reports on those countries (aside from Australia) that are planning to implement legal reforms effective this month banning social media use for children below 16 years old.
Questions:
1.Basic Data: Based on what you have researched, enumerate these countries and summarize the legal reforms as described (minimum 50 words).
2.Using a multi-disciplinary approach (and not strictly legal but including legal): Q: Is such a ban a form of prior restraint? Why or why not? Explain using a multi-disciplinary approach.
Additional Instructions: There is no exact jurisprudence yet on the matter. Do NOT use any of the answers from any generative AI even as your guide because these do not provide multidisciplinary, holistic, analytical answers on this particular question.
