Big Tech's Little Victims

[Headteacher Update @HeadteacherNews]

As a government consultation on a #socialmedia ban for under-16s launches, an experiment reveals just how quickly algorithms feed 13-year-olds violent, sexualised & harmful content within minutes of joining social media – https://t.co/VRY6p3wkCJ @BTLV_UK @NEUnion #safeguarding

Protecting children’s wellbeing online should not be optional. It must be a national priority.

Well done Australia for banning social media for under-16s.

Billionaire tech bros are harvesting children’s attention for profit at the expense of their mental health and wellbeing.

Join our campaign and urge the UK government to follow suit: https://t.co/l6rM7GsiiY

🧵/3 Please consider supporting @BTLV_UK BIG TECH IS EXPLOITING OUR CHILDREN FOR PROFIT. IT’S TIME THEY WERE STOPPED.
Children are losing sleep, joy & connection while algorithms hook them by design. This isn’t accidental - it’s a business model.

Children under 16 in Australia can no longer have social media profiles, protecting them from Big Tech's unchecked influence. We're calling on the UK government to do the same.

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

It is rare that we agree with @martyneoliver but when it comes to ensuring the safety our young people online we can make an exemption.

Hooked by design. Manipulated by algorithms

The government must stop Big Tech’s exploitation of childhood. @BTLV_UK

Children’s lives are being shaped by platforms designed to keep them scrolling and playing into insecurities. Would you have wanted to grow up in the era of social media?

We welcome @LibDems calls for action on the harms children face on social media but we already know “doomscrolling caps” are not enough. If social media is as harmful as cigarettes, why not protect children the same way?
