South Carolina Moves to Curb Addictive Social Media Features for Minors
South Carolina has passed a new law aimed at limiting addictive social media design features used by children — including infinite scrolling, automatic video playback, targeted advertising to minors, and direct marketing to children under 16.
The law, set to take effect January 1, 2027, requires large social media companies to activate enhanced safety features once they identify an account as belonging to a user under 16. These protections include parental control dashboards and limits on features designed to keep children endlessly engaged.
This matters because children are not just “using” social media — they are often being pulled into systems intentionally designed to capture their attention, collect their data, and keep them scrolling.
Children deserve online spaces built with safety in mind, including:
● Stronger default privacy settings
● Limits on addictive design features
● Restrictions on targeted advertising to minors
● Meaningful parental tools
● Better accountability from platforms profiting from youth engagement
● Safeguards that help reduce harmful screen-time patterns
Parents play a critical role, but families should not have to face these challenges alone while platforms continue using design features that can keep children trapped in unhealthy digital habits.
EIE applauds efforts that put children’s safety, privacy, and well-being ahead of Big Tech profits.

We’re proud to join more than 100 organizations calling on Congress to pass the bipartisan STOP CSAM Act (S.1829 / H.R.3921).

The scale of online child s*xual exploitation is staggering—with millions of reports each year—and current law does not provide adequate accountability for online platforms.
As I have been saying for decades…. No child is immune, not even yours.
The STOP CSAM Act would:
✅ Enable survivors to seek justice
✅ Increase transparency from tech platforms
✅ Strengthen law enforcement tools
✅ Enhance protections for survivors

Congress must act now. Children and families cannot wait.

Tell Congress: Pass the to https://www.ijm.org/stop-csam-calls

In today’s political climate, there’s something nearly everyone agrees on: 91% of American adults support the STOP CSAM Act.
Protecting kids online is a nonpartisan issue with bipartisan support. It’s urgent. Kids are being horribly damaged.

Victory: The FTC begins enforcing the TAKE IT DOWN Act. The FTC's new website allows people to submit complaints when Big Tech platforms ’ fail to comply with the law requiring platforms to remove non consensual intimate images at request of victims. I had the opportunity to join President Trump and Melania Trump last year in the Rose Garden, when the law was signed.... a wonderful victory for victims,families and online accountability.

According to a 2025 report by Thorn, 1 in 4 (25%) surveyed reported receiving an online solicitation to exchange s*xual imagery, engage in s*xual talk, or participate in a s*xual interaction over the internet in return for something of value while under the age of 18.
Children are being targeted across social media platforms, gaming apps, messaging services, and other digital spaces every single day. Parents and caregivers cannot afford to assume “it won’t happen to my child.”
Now more than ever, families need:
✅ Open conversations about online safety
✅ Strong parental controls and privacy protections
✅ Ongoing involvement in children’s digital lives
✅ Education about grooming tactics and online exploitation
✅ Greater accountability from tech platforms
Protecting children online starts with awareness and action.
