Common Sense Media Responds to U.S. Supreme Court Ruling to Uphold TikTok Ban

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17, 2025—Common Sense Media believes that rather than focusing solely on platform-specific bans, policymakers need to address data privacy, content moderation, and youth mental health concerns while creating safer digital environments that protect young users' privacy. Lawmakers must hold all social media companies accountable for their impact on children and young people.

We urge policymakers to stand up for parents and their families by passing legislation to make the internet healthier and safer for children and young people, and we encourage parents to have open conversations about responsible social media use and to help young people develop healthy digital habits.
