Despite the support, experts emphasise the potential risks of digital platforms for teenagers.<\/p>\n<h2>Meta and Google invest in children's initiatives<\/h2>\n<p>Pros. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/litigation\/meta-google-fund-us-kids-groups-critics-warn-social-media-risk-2026-05-14\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">information<\/a> <em><strong>Reuters<\/strong><\/em>, technology giants <strong>Meta Platforms<\/strong> and <strong>Google.<\/strong> have agreed to provide funding to a number of US children's organisations. This decision was made after lengthy discussions about the role of social media in the lives of young people and growing criticism from civil society activists and politicians.<\/p>\n<h2>Concerns about the impact of social media<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the financial support, a number of experts and representatives of NGOs warn that social media remain <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/science-tech\/facebook-instagram-porushennia-zakhyst-ditei-yes\/\">a source of serious risks<\/a> for children and teenagers. According to critics, even with the introduction of new security measures, Meta and Google's platforms can contribute to the spread of harmful content, cyberbullying and psychological pressure on young people.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the issue of child safety on the Internet has been the subject of numerous lawsuits in the United States. Children's and parental organisations are demanding that tech companies take greater responsibility and strengthen control over the content that reaches underage users.<\/p>\n<h2>Public reaction and further steps<\/h2>\n<p>Meta and Google's funding is aimed at supporting programmes to improve digital literacy, psychological support and the protection of children's personal data. However, some members of the public believe that this is not enough - systemic changes in the policies of the platforms themselves are needed.<\/p>\n<p>Questions remain about the transparency and effectiveness of the new initiatives. Children's organisations are calling for independent monitoring of the use of funds and the implementation of real changes in the work of social networks.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>Increased focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/zaborona-sotsmerezh-dityam-15-hretsiya\/\">children's safety on the Internet<\/a> reflects the deep concern of society about the impact of digital technologies on the mental health of young people. The effectiveness of Meta and Google's initiatives will affect not only the safety of users, but also the future regulation of social platforms in the US and globally.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta \u0442\u0430 Google \u0432\u0438\u0434\u0456\u043b\u0438\u043b\u0438 \u0444\u0456\u043d\u0430\u043d\u0441\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0434\u0438\u0442\u044f\u0447\u0438\u0445 \u043e\u0440\u0433\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0437\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439 \u0443 \u0421\u0428\u0410, \u043d\u0430 \u0442\u043b\u0456 \u0437\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0437\u0430\u043d\u0435\u043f\u043e\u043a\u043e\u0454\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0449\u043e\u0434\u043e \u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0435\u043a\u0438 \u0434\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0439 \u0443 \u0441\u043e\u0446\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0430\u0445. \u041f\u043e\u043f\u0440\u0438 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0443, \u0435\u043a\u0441\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0442\u0438 \u043d\u0430\u0433\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0448\u0443\u044e\u0442\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u043f\u043e\u0442\u0435\u043d\u0446\u0456\u0439\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0440\u0438\u0437\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0445 \u0446\u0438\u0444\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0445 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043b\u0456\u0442\u043a\u0456\u0432.
