N2  - Brian Simpson argues that 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 its potential to help them to participate more fully as citizens. Drawing on sociological work on the construction of childhood, and engaging a wide range of national and international legal material, he contends that it may yet offer the possibility of an entirely different - and more progressive - conceptualisation of children and youth
