"Concerns over Teen Internet Addiction: Insights from US Adults and Teens"

A pair of surveys conducted by Pew Research Center found that 81% of U.S. adults support requiring parental consent for minors to create social media accounts, while only 46% of teens are in favor. The surveys also revealed that adults are more likely than teens to support age verification and setting time limits for minors on social media platforms. The findings highlight the growing bipartisan support for measures aimed at protecting children's mental health and ensuring parental oversight on social media use.
