Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill requiring California schools to inform parents about the dangers of synthetic drugs marketed through social media, impacting an estimated six million parents annually. Concurrently, Meta has introduced new privacy measures for Instagram users under 18 to enhance online safety. This aligns with broader concerns among parents and lawmakers about the negative effects of social media on teens, highlighted by Pew Research data showing significant daily use of platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pushing for legislation to ban social media use for children up to age 16, though practical enforcement details remain unclear. Reality star Uorfi Javed emphasized that social media is inherently noisy and not conducive to a peaceful state of mind, reflecting the chaotic nature of online interactions. These developments underscore a global effort to balance the benefits and risks of social media for young users.
