We need to ban social media algorithms from targeting kids. My 14 year old gets a 'Verizon' data cap warning, but his phone usage is through the roof because these apps are designed to be addictive as a slot machine. It's common sense to turn off personalized feeds for minors, but the tech giants don't care about our kids' mental health, just their bottom line. My neighbor's kid was charged $400 in overage fees because the algorithms kept pushing him videos all night. Enough.
