Adults Advocate for Age Restrictions on Social Media and AI Platforms
A new report from Common Sense Media reveals that a majority of adults support implementing age restrictions on social media, gaming platforms, and AI services to protect children's privacy and ensure age-appropriate online experiences. The report indicates that 60% of adults favor age verification for these platforms, with concerns about children's ability to bypass such systems. Recent legislative efforts at both state and federal levels aim to regulate tech companies and enhance online safety for minors. These include laws requiring parental consent for minors' social media accounts and mental health warnings on platforms.
