New York officials announce legislation linking mental health issues in teens to social media use_我的网站

A |     Convinced social media platforms are fueling a mental health crisis among the nation’s youth, public officials in New York announced new legislation Wednesday that would restrict algorithms that target young users."Young New Yorkers are struggling with record levels of anxiety and depression, and social media companies that use addictive features to keep minors on their platforms longer are largely to blame," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.The legislation would, among other things, give her office new enforcement power over social media companies.Algorithmic feeds are designed to harness personal data to serve users content that keeps them engaged for as long as possible. Sponsors of the legislation said that has increased the addictive nature of social media platforms and heightened the risk to young users’ well-being.Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube would all be subject to the legislation that allows users under 18 to opt out of receiving algorithmic feeds, allow parents to allow algorithmic feeds to limit access between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. and prohibit social media platforms from sending notifications to minors during those same hours without verifiable parental consent.The attorney general’s office would be authorized to bring an action to enjoin or seek damages or civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation.Back in May, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned that excessive social media use can be a "profound risk" to the mental health of youth in the United States."I’m very concerned that social media has become an important contributor to the pain and the struggles that many of our young people are facing," Murthy said in an interview on ABC News Live.A surgeon general’s advisory is "reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation’s immediate awareness and action," according to the report released by the surgeon general’s office.The surgeon general said that while we’re in the "middle of a youth mental health crisis" it’s important to identify possible causes. The advisory recognizes that social media has both positive and negative effects on young people, but that ultimately there’s not enough "research and clear data" to determine if it’s "safe" for adolescents to use.。    Toronto Police have posted a news release saying they are looking for a missing woman, Isobella Degrace, 27, attaching a picture of a person who for all intents and purposes resembles a man.,"She is described as 5’10", with a thin build, shaggy blonde hair, and a full goatee," the police said. "She was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and grey pants.",Degrace was last seen on June 25 in the Ryerson Avenue and Bathurst Street area. Police highlighted that they are concerned for the person's safety.,However, what appears to be an effort to respect someone's preferred gender identity turned out to be confusing and borderline misleading for many people. Many users were quick to blast the police department over its call for public assistance being less than helpful.,© Photo : Twitter / @PatriotMike86ScreenshotScreenshot© Photo : Twitter / @PatriotMike86,© Photo : Twitter / @Sandervandam2ScreenshotScreenshot© Photo : Twitter / @Sandervandam2,Instead of trying to help search for the missing person, many people ended up engaging in a heated debate on trans rights.,© Photo : Twitter / @Serena_PartrickScreenshotScreenshot© Photo : Twitter / @Serena_Partrick,Others simply mocked the way Toronto Police requested public assistance.,© Photo : Twitter / @AF632ScreenshotScreenshot© Photo : Twitter / @AF632,The confusing tips on the missing person come as many view the Canadian Human Rights Act as potentially envisaging penalties for those who fail to use someone's preferred pronouns. Among such penalties could be mandatory sensitivity training, a requirement to issue an apology or a publication ban.。
