As policymakers and groups debate proposals to bar children under 16 from social media, Globe has reiterated support for a balanced solution instead of a full ban. Lawmaker Roman Romulo recently noted regulation is more practical than an outright restriction, highlighting parents’ key role. Globe says protecting young Filipinos is a shared duty for families, schools, government and industry, calling for stronger platform safeguards plus digital literacy rather than limits that cut off learning opportunities. AmCham and Amnesty International have also warned a total ban could drive children to unregulated spaces. Globe runs programs to teach safe online habits and continues pushing for measures that keep youth protected while letting them benefit from digital tools.
