They have faulted companies for \u0022driving\u0022 a teen mental health epidemic.
The report recommended adults monitor younger users but noted actions “should be balanced” with privacy needs. It suggested platforms should be “tailored” in “age-appropriate” ways, including changes to how companies ask for consent to collect personal data, set time limits for daily usage and recommend content to users. And it called for training teens on healthy use.
“In the policy world, we can do things to protect folks when there’s a preponderance of evidence,” said Prinstein, whose group last year endorsed one key children’s online safety bill. In Washington, lawmakers have introduced a flurry of children’s online safety bills, including to make it a legal duty for platforms to prevent certain harms to kids and to require platforms to build safety features into their design. State policymakers have proposed a series of similar bills to create a so-called “age-appropriate design code” for how companies build their products.
The report argued that “age-appropriate use of social media should be based on each adolescent’s level of maturity” and noted that “adolescents mature at different rates.”
