Recommendation 13

The Committee believes that social media organisations’ reliance on incremental improvements, voluntary measures and shared responsibility falls way short of the level of accountability that is required to address the scale and seriousness of the risks faced by children online. Social media companies have not yet demonstrated a sufficient level of accountability for the harms experienced by children on their platforms. Furthermore, we are concerned that commercial incentives to maximise engagement continue to outweigh child safety considerations. (Conclusion, Paragraph 27)
