A lot of their data is being collected through these, and potentially, in some cases, its being misused. the code stops companies sharing data without a compelling reason, and makes them take account of the "best interests of the child". so if firms know theyre dealing with an under—18, they now arent allowed to share things automatically, like location or browsing history, unless these conditions are met. one of the sort of single most important principle within the childrens code is to act i...

Care about what information i put out online and i dont think my friends do either, but am getting curious to find out what data is actually being held on me. facebook�*s the first social media platform ijoined. i know that you can download the data held on you there and im giving ita try. ijoined at 13, this could take some time. so, everything is downloaded, ijust need to open it now. i am a little bit nervous, i am not going to lie. um... there are dozens of folders, including one called "0...

Tonight, whos watching the kids? ive had a digital life since i was about 13. facebook, instagram, youtube, tiktok. i love social media. now, these days, i almost feel like my digital life is indistinguishable from my real one. i mean, if i didnt instagrammed it, did it even really happen? i know that advertising is a part of this, and recently, i noticed the return of some old anxieties, alongside a high number of diet—related ads. it made me askjust how much do social media really companies ...

Stopped collecting data on under—18s, too. tiktok and youtube are still collecting data on this age group, though youtube says it will reduce the amount its collecting. we didnt get a clear answerfrom facebook, which owns instagram. whats clear is the new code doesnt stop companies collecting personal data on under—18s. ad tech and big tech sometimes know more about a young person than their parents do. and that can be in ways that might get them in trouble with their parents. heather burns ...

But may not be best for the child. social media platforms say they are changing the way they operate. facebook, instagram and youtube have now restricted the number of targeted ads to under—18s. tiktok still allows these, if the user has agreed. we asked the big platforms if this new rule meant theyve stopped collecting data on under—18s, too. tiktok and youtube are still collecting data on this age group, though youtube says it will reduce the amount its collecting. we didnt get a clear ans...

Used to kind of build profiles of our children, with their interests, so that advertisers can basically pay for their attention. children browsing social media platforms can see over 400 adverts an hour. so they are absolutely being, you know, bombarded with an effort to kind of either get them to consume more, to get them to kind of change their opinion. and this is, you know, a you know, a huge volume of adverts, much more than we would again permit on any other media. you know, i dont think i...
