Utahvs. socialmediaaddiction.

THESTATEOFUtahhasnewlawsaimedat combattingsocialmediaaddictionin youth.

Utah’s sweepingsocialmedialegislationpassedthis weekis anambitiousattemptto shieldchildrenandteensfromthe ill effectsof socialmediaandempowerparentsto decidewhethertheir kidsshouldbeusingappslike TikTokor Instagram.

What’s not clearis if – andhow – the newrulescanbeenforcedandwhethertheywill createunintendedconsequencesfor kidsandteensalreadycopingwith a mentalhealth crisis. Andwhileparentalrightsarea centralthemeof Utah’s newlaws, expertspoint out that the rightsof parentsandthe bestinterestsof childrenarenot alwaysaligned.

Forinstance, allowingparentsto readtheir kids’ privatemessagesmaybeharmfulto somechildren, andageverificationrequirementscouldgivetech companiesaccessto 2 kids’ personalinformation, includingbiometricdata, if theyusetoolssuchasfacial recognitionto checkages.

Childrenmaybeput at increasedrisk if theselawsareenforcedin sucha waythat they’re not allowedto someprivacy, if theyarenot allowedsomeability for freedomof speechor autonomy,” saidKrisPerry, executivedirectorof the nonprofitChildrenand Screens: Institute of DigitalMediaandChildDevelopment.

Thelaws, whichwill gointo effect in a year, imposea digital curfewonpeopleunder18, requireminorsto get parentalconsentto signupfor socialmediaappsandforce companiesto verifythe agesof all their Utahusers. Theyalsorequiretech companiesto giveparentsaccessto their kids’ accountsandprivatemessages, whichhasraised alarmsfor childadvocateswhosaythis couldfurtherharmchildren’s mentalhealthby deprivingthemof theirright to privacy. Thisis especiallytruefor LGBTQ+ kids whose parentsarenot acceptingof their identity.

Therulescoulddrasticallytransformhowpeoplein this conservativestateaccesssocial mediaandthe internet, andif successful, serveasa modelfor otherstatesto enact similarlegislation. Butevenif the lawsclearthe inevitablelawsuitsfromtech giants, it’s not clearhowUtahwill beableto enforcethem.

Takeageverification, for instance. Variousmeasuresexist that canverifya person’s age online. Someonecoulduploada governmentID, consentto the usefacialrecognition softwareto provetheyarethe agetheysaytheyare.

Someof theseverificationmeasuresarewonderful, but thenalsorequirethe collection of sensitivedata. Andthosecanposenewrisks, especiallyfor marginalizedyouth,” Perry said. “Andit alsoputsa newkindof burdenonparentsto monitortheirchildren. These thingsseemsimpleandstraightforwardontheir face, but in reality, therearenewrisks that mayemergein termsof that that collectionof additionaldataonchildren.” Just asteenshavemanagedto obtainfakeIDsto drink, theyarealsosavvyat skirting onlineageregulations.

In SoutheastAsiathey’vebeentryingthis for years, for decades, andkidsalwaysget aroundit,” saidGaiaBernstein, authorof “Unwired,” a bookonhowto fight technology addiction.

Theproblem, shesaid, is that the Utahrulesdon’t requiresocialnetworksto prevent kids fromgoingonline. Instead, theyaremakingthe parentsresponsible.

I think that’s goingto bethe weaklink in the wholething, becausekidsdrivetheir parentsinsane,” Bernsteinsaid.

Thereis noprecedentin the UnitedStatesfor suchdrasticregulationof socialmedia, althoughseveralstateshavesimilarrulesin the works.
3 Onthe federallevel, companiesarealreadyprohibitedfromcollectingdataonchildren under13withoutparentalconsentunderthe Children’s OnlinePrivacyProtectionAct.

Forthis reason, socialmediaplatformsalreadybankidsunder13fromsigningupto their sites – but childrencaneasilyskirt the rules, bothwith andwithouttheirparents’ consent.

Perrysuggeststhat insteadof ageverification, therearestepstech companiescould take to maketheir platformslessharmful, lessaddictive, acrossthe board. Forinstance, InstagramandTikTokcouldslowdownall users’ ability to mindlesslyscrollontheir platformsfor hoursonend.

Thelawsarethe latest effortfromUtahlawmakersfocusedonchildrenandthe informationtheycanaccessonline. Twoyearsago, Gov. SpencerCoxsignedlegislation that calledontechcompaniesto automaticallyblockpornoncell phonesandtablets sold, citing the dangersit posedto children. Amidconcernsaboutenforcement, lawmakersin the deeplyreligiousstaterevisedthe bill to preventit fromtakingeffect unlessfive otherstatespassedsimilarlaws – whichhasnot happened.

Still, childdevelopmentexpertsaregenerallyhopefulaboutthe growingpushto regulate socialmediaandits effectsonchildren.

Childrenhavespecificdevelopmentalneeds, andwewantto protectthemat the same time that we’re tryingto pushbackonBigTech,” Perrysaid. “It’s a two- parteffort. You haveto reallyput yourarmaroundthe kids whileyou’re pushingBigTechaway.” 4 TheresaBass
