“Get out of my feed!”: Child-centered strategies to enhance well-being and agency on social media
summary
Platforms hide report and “show me less” buttons and kids (ages 12–14) often can’t find or use them; recommender opt-outs are binary and short‑lived, while trusted flaggers routinely act after 48–72 hours when trending harm has already spread. A prototype Flaggy chatbot routes shared posts to trusted adults, hotlines or flaggers and is piloted in a Swiss school but platforms have not enabled official integration. Hands‑on reduced distraction workshops raise perceived control by ~50% and cut device time by ~1.5 hours/day.
