A growing number of U.S. policymakers and federal officials are angling to keep children and young teenagers off social media entirely, citing mounting concerns that the platforms may harm their well-being and mental health. It's a notable escalation in the rhetoric around keeping kids safe online, which has largely focused on setting new digital protections. The push gained traction after the U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy told CNN on Sunday that he believes 13 is “too early” for kids to be joining apps like Instagram and TikTok, which he said can create a “distorted environment” that “often does a disservice” to kids. Since then, other officials including Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) and the Federal Trade Commission’s Alvaro Bedoya have either voiced support or shared the remarks on 4 Twitter. Jim Steyer, a prominent children’s safety advocate, called the comments “a huge deal.”https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/a-new-bill-would-ban-anyone- under-16-from-using-social-media # 3 https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/rep-stewart-introduces-social-media- ban-for-kids-under-16 # 4 https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/utah-congressman-discusses-his-bill- to-ban-us-teens-under-16-from #5 Biden Calls for Limiting Tech Companies’ Use of Personal Data, Targeted Ad Republicans and Democrats, Unite Against Big Tech Abuses Congress can find common ground on the protection of privacy, competition and American children. can find common ground on the protection of privacy, competition and American children.

In a statement, Epic Games said it believed "the evidence will show that this case is meritless." The service Rehabs UK identified several games for which people had sought addiction support online. A Quebec Superior Court judge authorized a lawsuit earlier this month against the maker of "Fortnite," filed by parents who say their children became addicted to the video game. In July, three parents in Quebec told Justice Sylvain Lussier that their children appeared to be severely dependent on "Fortnite" and had passed up eating, sleeping, and showering as a result, BBC News reported. https://socialemotionalpaws.com/blog-post-1/f/parents-who-say-their-kids-are-addicted-to- fortnite-slam-epic-g # 16 GAMING, SOCIAL MEDIA AND MENTAL WELLNESS PRESENTED BY SINA SAFAHIE MD PRESENTED BY: SINA SAFAHIEH, MD BACKGROUND: • Sina Safahieh, MD is a double board certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist.
