The state of momentum aimed at forcing social media increases to provide a higher degree of safety for children when using their platforms. But some solutions that receive the highest attention do not address the basic problem, and if they offer their goodwill, it is that these applications live on the prey of thoughts in the process of growth. A new report issued by the American Psychology Association emphasizes the solutions that depend on science, and this is an important message to policymakers, family and businesses themselves. Because we need to focus on what really happens if we want to make a tangible improvement. This is not necessarily the age of children on social media – the axis of many current policy efforts – but rather the characteristics of these applications, and how it affects youth’s minds.

The US Psychological Association Report indicates that the teen’s brain is still in a learning and learning of skills, such as control, planning and prioritization, which makes it especially vulnerable to the dangers of movable pages to an endless or attract followers and clicking “admiration” and “posts”. Some of these young people are especially vulnerable to the risk of harmful content or bad consequences. A complex problem of the short list of recommendations issued by the American Psychology Association followed last year on social media, which demanded a better scientific study on how to influence platforms such as “Tek Tok” and “Instagram” on children’s brain. But some of the reactions of politics and thought leaders were not always compatible with knowledge, says Mitch Brencites, head of the American Psychology Association for Scientific Affairs. A very large percentage of political focus has shrunk on a simple idea: the age limits. However, the focus on age is not a comprehensive solution. The age of 13 (or 16 years) does not make a person in a magical way to deal with the responsibilities on social media. In contrast, some children may have the necessary maturity to browse to these platforms before reaching the age of 13. In addition, the age restrictions that the media have laid down previously did not work, as it is known that teens are more familiar with technology than their families, and that they master the bypass of age restrictions on applications and time limit for devices.

Sensitive content (such as electronic hatred, scandalous content or publications that encourage eating disorders). To accept certain responsibilities, either when driving a car or the Snapchat app. As I have written before, parents play a fundamental role in transferring their children to the electronic world. But even the most persistent and serious parents cannot move alone in this area. We need to enter social media businesses, not only in the form of symbolic changes, but by making fundamental adjustments to their platforms, with being a problem. Essential procedures The social media businesses need to do another procedure: It is to share their data on how children use their platforms. The progress of actual transparency seems slow with frustrating. Earlier this year, the Open Science Center announced a partnership with ‘Mita’ to facilitate the access of some researchers to data that can help them help a better understanding of the relationship between social media and the healthy health. This is the beginning, though small. Companies can accelerate this research on the methods of using social media through children and its impact on them. She can provide information from her already experiences on how teens share their products. Certainly, she knows a lot about what functions that make their applications more complicated and problematic for adolescents. She must reveal and restore these qualities. Also read: If “Tene Tok” and “Snap” do not harm children … Let them prove that if we focus on the easiest repairs instead of the most accurate solutions determined by science, nothing will change. Companies on social media appear to be only enough to keep their CEO away from accountability in Congress. It seems that the legislators are only interested in symbolic political victories. As for the parents, they must continue to call and claim a real reform.
