This book critically confronts perceptions that social media has
become a 'wasteland' for young people. Law has become preoccupied
with privacy, intellectual property, defamation and criminal
behaviour in and through social media. In the case of children and
youth, this book argues, these preoccupations - whilst important -
have disguised and distracted public debate away from a much
broader, and more positive, consideration of the nature of social
media. In particular, the legal tendency to consider social media
as 'dangerous' for young people - to focus exclusively on the need
to protect and control their online presence and privacy, whilst
tending to suspect, or to criminalise, their use of it - has
obscured the potential of social media to help young people to
participate more fully as citizens in society. Drawing on
sociological work on the construction of childhood, and engaging a
wide range of national and international legal material, this book
argues that social media may yet offer the possibility of an
entirely different - and more progressive -conceptualisation of
children and youth.
