Gen Z users oppose social media limits: poll

American teens are against the idea of regulations that would place restrictions on their use of social media platforms, despite knowing the potential harms to mental and physical health.

According to a study designed by the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab, more than 60% of newly registered voters in the US oppose requiring kids under age 16 to seek parental consent to use social media. More than 85% of young people think there should be no time limits on when they can receive social media notifications.
