For far too long, social media companies have used powerful and addictive algorithms to keep young people scrolling. Not anymore. Our SAFE for Kids Act will protect kids from the potential harms of social media.

RFK Jr. says social media algorithms are making Americans hate each other. And we need to come together before it’s too late. “We’re very polarized right now in this country, but there’s always been polarization in America.” “It’s amplified today by social media because the algorithms profit on it.” “The algorithms program us toward tribalism and partisanship.” “I think we’ve got to figure out ways to come together as Americans.” “These algorithms are so powerful and so domineering that it may be existential for our country.”

Q: "Does the organized Jewish community need a social media strategy?" American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutch: "[Social media] is driven by algorithms … and the way to address those algorithms is to deal directly with the social media companies—which is what we do." "And we can point to successes with Meta and with TikTok and with others in working to ensure that anti-Semitic material and anti-Semitic material that feeds into algorithms is taken down from their sites."

🇺🇸 Tucker’s Chilling Warning About Algorithms Algorithms and mass media aren’t simply recommending videos, they’re rewriting how people think, feel, and behave. Tucker says they deliberately feed outrage, fear, and division 24/7, slowly isolating us from real communities, making us easier to manipulate, and normalizing anger until violence starts to feel normal. His stark conclusion: When technology replaces genuine human connection, people can gradually become… “something less than human.” Are social media algorithms changing us for the worse?

“Nobody has wielded the power that algorithms now control.” Social media companies should be made to copy Elon Musk and reveal the inner workings of their algorithms, says Times columnist Fraser Nelson. @CathyNewman | #TimesRadio

Introducing Onairos. Today, companies steal your data every second, lock it up, and use it to line their pockets. But at what cost? The cost is you. Your data is used to power algorithms that hijack your mind with social media, doomscrolling, rage, and endless consumption.

.@JamesTalarico: Social media algorithms and cable news networks tear us apart so we don’t notice they are closing our schools, gutting our health care, and cutting taxes for the rich. They want to keep us from seeing that there is far more that unites us than divides us

I am fighting hard for real and effective regulation of Big-Tech’s social media platforms and the harms that they can cause. We need a systems based approach that holds the Tech Giants accountable for the algorithms that drive their platforms, expose people to harmful content, disseminate misinformation, and profit from outrage and conflict. The government’s planned 16 year-old age ban for social media platforms doesn’t do any of that. It’s why I provided my own Private Members’ Bill to parliament to deal with Big-Tech’s algorithms. And it’s why I couldn’t support Labor’s Social Media legislation as it stands.

My last word on the "olodo uprising": You can keep on repeating to yourself, "The algorithms only show you more of what you like, so the problem is with us not with the social media platforms" as much as you like. It won't make it true. The algorithms are NOT neutral. You're just too delusional to accept the reality that rich, powerful people who pay billions for publicity and advertisement will never look at a technology like social media and leave it alone to be "neutral". If you believe these platforms are neutral, then you are not different from Peller and his internet tribe. You're just an olodo with better articulation.

The manosphere is having a worrying impact on our boys and young men. Misogyny is spreading like wildfire, and social media algorithms are making it worse. If social media companies can't guarantee young people’s safety, then we have to take action.

Late-night scrolling. Endless autoplay. Algorithms designed to keep you hooked. We're changing that for 16 and 17-year-olds. New protections will mean overnight social media curfews and addictive features will be switched off by default, helping young people get better sleep, focus on what matters and enjoy healthier online habits.
