Start with your phone. As concerns grow about what kids see online, weve asked them to give up their smartphones for a week, and theyve allowed us to follow the whole thing. Were giving both teenagers an emergency brick phone, with no internet access. So, this is your new phone. What . the more time kids and adults spend on smartphones, the more money the Social Media companies can make. Are views and likes prioritised over safety . They use Computer Systems called algorithms to recommend stuff they think we might like, based on the preferences of other users like us and, also, what we show an interest in. Its all to keep us coming back. But some of the content that can keep us gripped can also be harmful. Kai is 18 and into boxing and martial arts. He says hes been served violent and misogynistic content on Tiktok And Instagram reels since he was 15, but he doesnt want to see it. Its like you just scroll, you know, you get video after video, it could be a dog, and then next minute, its just someone getting run over or a Car Crash or something like that. It kind ofjust stains your brain and its all you think about for the rest of the day. Like, ive tried, like, putting the little not interested thing, but then three videos later, youll get another one. Kai says his feeds look very different from those of girls he knows the same age.

Tiktok says 40,000 Safety Staff Work alongside innovative technology to keep its apps safe. It says it doesnt use gender to recommend content, has settings for teens to block content that may not be has settings for teens to block content that may not be suitable, and doesnt allow extreme violence or misogyny. Meta, which owns instagram, says its introduced over 50 different tools, resources and features, including for parental supervision and reducing sensitive content for teens. Media Regulator Ofcom will oversee a new law to force Social Media companies to verify kids ages and stop them recommending harmful content. Tends to be a minority of them that get exposed to the most harmful content. What we know, however, is that once you are exposed to that harmful content, it becomes unavoidable. The week without smartphones is over. Its overwhelming, checking everyones messages. I feel better when im Notjust Scrolling and scrolling, like, l endlessly for hours. Our phones are here to stay. Now the pressures on to make sure kids can use them more safely. Use them more safely. Marianna spring, bbc news. Marianna spring, bbc news. This is bbc news. This is bbc news. This dropic news.
