📱 Should Kids Under 16 Be Allowed On Social Media?

A new survey by the Pew Research Center found that 56% of American adults support banning social media for children under 16.

Among parents, support rises to 65%.

The discussion is no longer about whether social media affects young people.
It's about where the responsibility should lie.

➡️ 85% support requiring parental consent for minors to create social media accounts
➡️ 78% support age verification before accessing social platforms
➡️ 78% also support limits on how much time minors can spend on social media

Support came from both Republicans and Democrats, making it one of the few technology issues with broad bipartisan agreement.

Critics argue that enforcing these rules could require users to verify their identity, raising concerns about privacy and personal data.

Whether new laws are introduced or not, one thing is becoming clear.

Governments, parents, and technology companies are under growing pressure to rethink how young people use social media.
