It\u2019s the first time Biden has called for these rules, and the White House plans to make specific funding requests to study and improve children\u2019s online safety. <\/p>\n<p id=\"fXVVFe\">Specifically, Biden requested that Congress institute stronger children\u2019s privacy rules, ban targeted advertising to children, and pressure social media companies to design their products from the ground up with child safety in mind. In a fact sheet provided by the White House earlier on Tuesday, the administration is also expected to target social media algorithms that discriminatorily target kids, especially minorities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-float-right\">\n<aside id=\"zfHFKF\"><q>\u201cIt\u2019s time to strengthen privacy protections\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"GMHPkr\">\u201cIt\u2019s time to strengthen privacy protections, ban targeted advertising to children, demand tech companies stop collecting personal data on our children,\u201d Biden said Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bbqWqZ\">The request comes just months after Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, Facebook whistleblower, testified before several congressional committees accusing Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, of turning a blind eye to the safety of young users. Haugen attended Tuesday\u2019s State of the Union address as a special guest of First Lady Jill Biden.<\/p>\n<p id=\"oLiQWY\">Following Haugen\u2019s testimony, Republicans and Democrats agreed that it was necessary to roll out stronger children\u2019s privacy rules. However, it\u2019s still unclear what those regulations will look like. Last October, Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Ed Markey (D-MA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/10\/5\/22710371\/facebook-whistleblower-congress-hearing-instagram-kids-safety-privacy-blumenthal\">brought back their KIDS Act<\/a> which would create new limits for developers designing apps for children. It would also ban all targeted advertising to children, something Biden called for during Tuesday night\u2019s address.<\/p>\n<p id=\"t50zSo\">\u201cAs Frances Haugen, who is here with us tonight, has shown, we must hold social media platforms accountable for the national experiment they\u2019re conducting on our children for profit ,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"69YAXx\">Biden also announced that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/03\/01\/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-announce-strategy-to-address-our-national-mental-health-crisis-as-part-of-unity-agenda-in-his-first-state-of-the-union\/\">would request $5 million in his 2023 budget<\/a> to research how social media harms the mental health of its users, \u201cas well as the clinical and societal interventions\u201d the administration could apply to address these concerns. Biden said that the Department of Health and Human services will also launch a \u201cnational Center of Excellence on Social Media and Mental Illness\u201d over the next year. The new program would develop and distribute new guidance \u201con the full impact of adolescent social media use.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/1\/22957505\/biden-children-kids-privacy-tech-facebook-instagram-frances-haugen-sotu\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/1\/22957505\/biden-children-kids-privacy-tech-facebook-instagram-frances-haugen-sotu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: President Joe Biden called on Congress to pass new rules to enhance child safety on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram in his first State of the Union address on Tuesday.
