Common Age Restrictions on Social Media Platforms
Most major social media platforms set their minimum age at 13, aligned with the US COPPA regulation. LinkedIn and WhatsApp require 16, while YouTube formally requires 18 (or 13 with parental consent). These self-imposed limits highlight the gap between platform policy and actual enforcement.
Digital Divide in Children's Screen Time by Socioeconomic Status
Research consistently shows that the "Digital Divide" has shifted from access to usage patterns and duration. Children from low-income families spend roughly 40% longer on screens than middle-income peers and nearly double the time of children in affluent households. A 2024 Norwegian study found that lower-SES children spend an average of 364 minutes (over 6 hours) on the internet daily, compared to 260 minutes for high-SES peers.
