Social media isn’t inherently good or bad—it all depends on how it’s designed. While platforms offer teens opportunities for connection, creativity, and support, they also expose them to cyberbullying, privacy concerns, and addictive behaviors. Lawmakers are debating broad restrictions, but researchers argue for a different approach: redesigning platforms to prioritize safety while preserving benefits. Features like privacy controls, algorithmic transparency, and content moderation could help mitigate harm without cutting off access. The challenge isn’t just limiting social media use—it’s making it better for the next generation.
