Investigate social media risks to children before developing protections
Rivas supports congressional investigations into social media’s effects and risks for young people, including addictive algorithms and possible links to depression or anxiety. She says Congress should use those investigations to develop online-safety solutions for children and wants to hear parents’ concerns about screen time and scrolling.
Context: She does not specify particular restrictions or a proposed age limit.
