Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UN Calls For Child Safety Reforms Across Social Media
Caption: UN Calls For Child Safety Reforms Across Social Media. The United Nations has called for tougher child safety measures across all social media platforms following Meta's settlement of a major US court case. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said governments must act rather than waiting for lawsuits or technology companies to introduce changes themselves. Meta has agreed to introduce additional protections, including time limits and parental supervision controls, as part of a settlement with almost all US states. The company has also called on TikTok and YouTube to introduce similar safeguards. Türk said the changes were consistent with UN proposals but further action was needed. The UN's framework includes stronger data privacy, improved age verification and protections against addictive platform features although it stops short of recommending outright social media bans for children.
