Backed by an expert commission’s 56 recommendations, the push targets platform accountability, safer defaults, and parental responsibility in digital education. Rising concerns over addiction, isolation, radicalization, and even teen debt from uncontrolled spending are fueling the urgency. Experts and advocates are calling for real-world experiences to counterbalance screen time, urging a cultural shift to help youth stay grounded and connected offline.
