Social Media

Poland joins several other countries around the world that are planning or considering legislation to limit children’s access to social media.

The young woman known as K.G.M. gives a face to a generational mental health crisis that has accompanied the rise of social media.

Experts say youth social media addiction is rising, but definitions, diagnosis, treatment standards, and its true scope remain unclear.

‘It’s only ever been helping people find good stuff to watch,’ Cristos Goodrow says.

The companies incorporate psychological techniques into their game designs to make them addictive to youth, the lawsuit alleges.

Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters claims ’moral virtue signalling' is behind the move, and that the Parliament’s Clerk has overstepped his authority.

Pressure from both parties in the coalition makes it increasingly likely that the federal government will push for a law on restrictions.

The lawsuit is the latest in a surge of legal action against tech companies over the distribution of sexually explicit materials.

Attorneys for the plaintiff questioned the CEO on allegations that his products targeted young people despite known harms.

After losing teens to suicides they say were induced by addictive apps, parents find comfort in one another.

The social media platform says it has fought illegal activity, such as drug dealing—which the parents blame for fentanyl deaths of children.

A Russian regulator has accused both apps of failing to comply with local law, but Telegram boss Pavel Durov accused the state of trying to stifle free speech.

Day 3 in a landmark trial against tech titans focused on the platform’s beauty filters and safety measures.

The trial, which is expected to last six to eight weeks, could see testimony from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The operation suggests Beijing’s political turmoil may be far more severe than analysts estimated.

A House Judiciary report claims EU regulators used closed-door forums and voluntary codes to pressure tech firms into global moderation rules.

Earlier this week, Spain said it wants to regulate social media access for under-16s in a bid to shield children from harmful content online.

Other countries are planning or considering legislation to ban children from social media, similar to Australia’s law, including Malaysia and Denmark.

Malaysia’s decision to end the block on the AI image and text generator came after a similar move by the Philippines earlier this week.

More than 10,000 images generated by xAI between Christmas and New Year’s show people wearing little clothing, with some appearing to be children, Bonta said.
