Nodding to Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, President Biden pushed Congress to adopt new online privacy protections for children as part of his effort to address what the White House terms a national mental health crisis SOTU
President Biden pushed Congress to adopt new online privacy protections for children as part of his effort to address what the White House terms a national mental health crisis.
The president is calling on Congress to ban what he termed excessive data collection on children and young people, and also to ban targeted advertising directed toward them, according to a White House fact sheet. “Social media platforms are designed to be addictive, too often deliver age-inappropriate content, promote unhealthy social comparisons, and enable harassment, child sexual exploitation, stalking and cyber-bullying,” the White House said.
“Kids and teens are suffering from mental health issues at alarming rates, exacerbated by the pandemic and also by social media platforms that have seized the opportunity to keep kids addicted to screens at all costs,” said Mr. Steyer, founder of Common Sense Media, a group that promotes safe technology and media for children.
