That’s why 25-year-old influencer Levi Penell wants people over 60 banned from social media

Levi Penell Sparks Heated Debate on Social Media Rules
It was a moment that instantly charged the studio with tension. Podcaster Levi Penell raised an idea on Hart aber fair that immediately ignited discussion. Unlike most debates that focus on children and social media, Penell targeted a different group: people over 60.

A Provocative Proposal
The discussion began with a clip about young TikTok users. Penell stressed the need to introduce children gradually to digital platforms. However, he quickly flipped the focus:

“I have the feeling that young people are more often able to distinguish AI-generated content from real content than older people. Following that logic, we might have to discuss a social media ban from the age of 60.”

The comment made the audience sit up—and even drew applause.

Petra Gerster Pushes Back
Long-time presenter Petra Gerster, 70, expressed strong disagreement. She called for education instead of exclusion, pointing out that social media helps older people stay connected and fight loneliness.
