Meta内部研究披露：家长监督对遏制青少年社交媒体沉迷效果有限

Core Insights - Meta's internal research project "MYST" reveals that parental supervision measures, such as time limits and access controls, are largely ineffective in reducing excessive social media use among teenagers [1][3] - The study, conducted in collaboration with the University of Chicago, surveyed 1,000 teenagers and their parents, finding no significant correlation between parental factors and teenagers' reported concerns about social media usage [3] - The findings were presented as key evidence in a lawsuit against Meta, where plaintiffs allege that social media platforms design addictive products that contribute to mental health issues [3][4] Group 1 - The MYST project indicates that mainstream parental control tools, like Instagram's built-in supervision features, do not effectively address the issue of excessive use among teenagers [3] - The research highlights that social media platforms employ algorithms and reward mechanisms that enhance user engagement, which surpasses the impact of family interventions [3][4] - Teenagers who have experienced adverse life events are more likely to use social media as an escape and report lower levels of control over their usage [4] Group 2 - Meta's head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, acknowledged the term "problematic use" for users spending more time than deemed reasonable but refrained from using the term "addiction" [4] - Despite Mosseri's approval of the MYST project, he claimed unfamiliarity with its specific findings, emphasizing that Meta conducts numerous research initiatives [4] - Meta's defense attorneys attempted to attribute some responsibility to family environments and personal experiences, asserting that the MYST project measures subjective feelings rather than diagnosing clinical addiction [4]
