Fairplay welcomes the Federal Trade Commission’s new staff report finding that large social media and video streaming companies failed to adequately protect children and teens on their sites. The report follows comments that Fairplay and 30 other groups filed with the FTC in 2019 as part of the commission’s early review of rules protecting children under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act .

The report cites research showing that social media and digital technology contributed to negative mental health impacts on young users. Based on data collected for the report, the FTC says that many social media and video streaming companies assert there are no children on their platforms because their services are not directed to children or do not allow children to create accounts.
