Here's why TikTok's new teen time limit may not do much
In the Pew survey, 55% of adolescents reported that they spend an appropriate amount of time on social media, but 34% feel that they’re online too much. Additionally, 54% of teens think it would be hard to give up social media.
TikTok also offers a “Family Pairing” mode, which gives parents access to their children’s online activity. The app has other safety mechanisms for users under 16, including making such accounts private by default and not offering the direct message function. In Rosenberg’s 21 years as a teacher, she’s witnessed a generation of kids grow up with nearly lifelong access to smartphones, and she believes that Gen-Z is fairly self-aware of the risks of social media. Her students report often deleting the apps when they want to focus on school or are feeling overwhelmed.that adolescents are particularly vulnerable to experiencing the downsides of social media, including low self-image, social media addiction, cyberbullying, sleep loss and depression.
“I don’t think that kids that are 10, 11, 12, etc… should have TikTok, but if they’re going to anyways, maybe [time limits] are a step in the right direction,” Jones tells TIME.
