Surgeon General of the United States, Vivek Murthy, warned that it was dangerous for a 13-year-old child to be in social media in this age.
“Personally, based on the data I’ve seen, I think 13 is too early,” Vivek told CNN Newsroom.
Why is this a risk?
According to authorities, all social media like Instagram or Facebook are designed to keep their users on their services for as long as possible.
“We have some of the best product designers and developers in the world who have developed these products so that people can maximize the amount of time they spend on these platforms,” he says. “And if we say to a child: “Use your will power to control how much time you spend on [en las redes sociales]’, you’re pitting a kid against the best product designers in the world, and it’s not a fair fight. And that’s why I think our kids need help.”
The networks allow you to create an account from the age of 13, but in many cases, younger children can lie to get their access credentials.
“This is a time when it’s really important for us to reflect on what’s going on with the way they think about their self-image and their relationships, as well as the twisted and often distorted environment. social media often does a disservice to many of these children,” he added.
Consequences
One of the biggest innovations social media It’s an infinite scroll that, as the name suggests, allows users to endlessly scroll through their social media without showing you a clear stop point.
In addition, a recent study that scanned the brains of children possessed social media found significant changes in the part of their brain responsible for memory and emotion called the amygdala.
To give up the troubling cost social media for kids, Murthy suggested that there should be higher security standards that these platforms should meet.
“If parents can get together and say they know how a group, we won’t let our kids use social media up to 16, 17 or 18, or whatever age they choose, is a much more effective strategy for making sure your kids don’t endanger themselves at an early age,” she said. CNN.
