New York officials announce legislation linking mental health issues in teens to social media use_我的网站

一 |     (ECNS) -- China has allocated 180 million yuan (about $26.52 million) in emergency disaster relief funds as heavy rains brought by Typhoon Dolphin triggered flooding in eastern provinces while drought conditions worsened in the northwest.    China's Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Emergency Management allocated 120 million yuan to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi on Monday to support flood and typhoon response, including evacuations, emergency rescue and repairs to damaged homes.    Another 60 million yuan was allocated to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to address ongoing drought conditions.    Authorities have been urged to promptly distribute the funds and ensure they are used for disaster relief and affected communities.                                。    Convinced social media platforms are fueling a mental health crisis among the nation’s youth, public officials in New York announced new legislation Wednesday that would restrict algorithms that target young users."Young New Yorkers are struggling with record levels of anxiety and depression, and social media companies that use addictive features to keep minors on their platforms longer are largely to blame," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.The legislation would, among other things, give her office new enforcement power over social media companies.Algorithmic feeds are designed to harness personal data to serve users content that keeps them engaged for as long as possible. Sponsors of the legislation said that has increased the addictive nature of social media platforms and heightened the risk to young users’ well-being.Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube would all be subject to the legislation that allows users under 18 to opt out of receiving algorithmic feeds, allow parents to allow algorithmic feeds to limit access between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. and prohibit social media platforms from sending notifications to minors during those same hours without verifiable parental consent.The attorney general’s office would be authorized to bring an action to enjoin or seek damages or civil penalties of up to $5,000 per violation.Back in May, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned that excessive social media use can be a "profound risk" to the mental health of youth in the United States."I’m very concerned that social media has become an important contributor to the pain and the struggles that many of our young people are facing," Murthy said in an interview on ABC News Live.A surgeon general’s advisory is "reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation’s immediate awareness and action," according to the report released by the surgeon general’s office.The surgeon general said that while we’re in the "middle of a youth mental health crisis" it’s important to identify possible causes. The advisory recognizes that social media has both positive and negative effects on young people, but that ultimately there’s not enough "research and clear data" to determine if it’s "safe" for adolescents to use.。
