    Social Media is Risky for the Youth

    Social media poses potentially serious risks for youth, especially since it was not originally designed for them. So how can this be fixed? Some countries have implemented or are considering social media bans for youth, like Indonesia, Australia, Germany, and Canada. Solutions to protect children online are varied, and Congress has yet to pass legislation such as the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) to compel Big Tech platforms to institute a ‘Duty of Care’ and ensure strict safety settings. Big Tech’s lobby has successfully stopped KOSA’s passage for three years now. Yet we know children are still being harmed. Sextortion is a growing threat, especially to young boys ages 14-17, the FBI has warned. Violent online network “764”targets children for sexual exploitation and self-harm. Kids suffer from screen time addiction and are subject to problematic algorithms that prey on youth vulnerabilities. Donna Rice Hughes, President and CEO of Enough Is Enough (EIE) is an internationally known Internet safety expert, author, speaker and producer. Her vision, expertise and advocacy helped to birth the Internet safety movement in America at the advent of the digital age. Since 1994, she has been a pioneering leader on the frontlines of U.S. efforts to make the Internet safer for children and families by implementing a three-pronged strategy of the public, the technology industry and legal community sharing the responsibility to protect children online. This strategy has been adopted by industry and governments worldwide. This is a public episode.
