UN Calls for Social-Media Reform as Platforms Expand Teen Safety Measures

The United Nations is calling for broader reform across social-media platforms as technology companies face growing pressure to strengthen protections for children and teenagers.

The BBC reports that California’s attorney general is examining safety measures introduced by TikTok and YouTube, while changes at Meta have intensified debate about whether voluntary company policies are sufficient.

Effective reform will require consistent standards for age-appropriate design, transparent risk assessments and independent oversight across the industry—not isolated changes that apply to only one service.
