Read More »Bullying, misinformation, safety risks, “fakeness” and distressing content are just some of the reasons young people say they’re putting boundaries on social media. More than half of respondents ages 14-24 in a recent survey said they’ve deleted or thought about deleting their social media account or app. Many others said they’ve set stricter time limits, changed settings to control content they see or taken other steps to protect their mental wellbeing and safety. “Many young people are keenly aware of ways social media may negatively impact them and have strategies to self-regulate use to promote their mental health,” said lead author Jane Harness, D.O., a child and adolescent psychiatrist at University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Researchers analyzed responses from 871 teens and youth who responded to questions about social media through MyVoice, a University of Michigan-led national text message poll of young people. The results appear in the Journal of Adolescent Health. Harness said she was surprised to see that one of young people’s top concerns related to social media use was safety, with many users advising against sharing personal information, interacting with strangers and warning against opening location-tracking links. Many were also apt to caution others that everything posted on the internet is permanent, even if it is later deleted, sharing stories of how something they or someone else had shared had come back to haunt them. “Youth provided thoughtful advice about how much to share on social media and how to safely interact on these platforms,” Harness said. As one participant said: “I believe it is imperative that people who are new to social media start with their accounts private, particularly younger teens. I believe it is necessary that parents monitor their children’s social media at least until high school.” Others recognized an association between social media and their mood, from unhealthy scrolling habits to feeling depressed, and self-conscious– prompting some to take occasional breaks and reduce time spent on platforms. “I’ve spent 20 hours a day in social media and was constantly comparing myself to others,” one person wrote. Young people polled also acknowledged that what they saw on social media wasn’t always true, from people using editing features to curate “picture perfect” photos that didn’t reflect reality to perpetuating misinformation.

Read More »U.S. officials have argued that TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese-based ByteDance and has an estimated 100 million users in the United States, can share sensitive data about the location, personal habits and interests of Americans with the Chinese government. The app is particularly popular with young people.
The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has negotiated with TikTok for two years to resolve the government’s concerns that the popular Chinese-owned video app poses a national security risk. But as talks drag on, state and federal lawmakers have become impatient and taken matters into their own hands. In the past several weeks, at least 14 states have banned TikTok on government-issued devices. In Congress, lawmakers are expected to vote this week on a sweeping spending bill that includes a ban of TikTok on all federal government devices. A separate bipartisan bill, which was introduced in Congress last week, would ban the app for everyone in the United States. In addition, Indiana’s attorney general has sued TikTok, accusing the company of being deceptive about the security and privacy risks the app poses. What started a few years ago as an effort from the Trump administration has evolved into an increasingly bipartisan issue. Politicians of both parties share concerns that the app could surveil users in the United States and put sensitive data, including location information, into the hands of China’s government.
