Manifesto Core / DerivedChildren and Social Media
Children should receive strong legal protection from social-media systems designed to maximize compulsive attention and psychological dependence.
Position
Parents remain the primary guardians of children, while the state may regulate commercial systems that deliberately exploit children's developmental vulnerability.
Policy
- Provide substantially stronger privacy and discoverability defaults for minors.
- Restrict manipulative engagement systems aimed at maximizing compulsive use by children.
- Severely restrict targeted behavioural advertising to children.
- Require effective parental controls.
- Do not require pupils to maintain commercial social-media accounts for ordinary schooling.
- Permit limits on night-time notification and engagement mechanisms aimed at minors.
- Design age assurance to minimize identity-data collection.
- Use a general framework of highly restricted access under 13, strong parental and minor protections at 13–15, broader but still protected access at 16–17, and ordinary adult rules at 18.
Implementation note
Implementation note
The manifesto expressly states that children should be protected from industries whose profit models depend on maximizing psychological dependence. The exact age-verification mechanism remains an implementation question.
