@eff Social media platforms from big tech companies are made to be addicting and makes children sacrifice productive time to instead doom-scroll every day. Banning those for children under 16 is a good thing though the age must be verified in a privacy-respecting way. A good example would be the EU's plan to tackle this. There are alternative platforms without privacy-invasive algorithms that are better for getting informed without biases and without being addicted.
