We’ve been working with Facebook to find out the key areas users want to know about the social media platform. From our research and activity so far we have found 4 main areas that parents have questions around: ‘Moderating content’, ‘User's data privacy’, ‘Mental health & social media’ and ‘Safe use of the internet/Facebook’. We will be running 4 Q&A’s in order to cover these areas and allow MNers the chance to ask their questions on each topic.
This Q&A is about ‘mental health & social media/Facebook’. This covers subjects such as: using social media in a positive and healthy way, support groups, the effects social media has on mental health and how to take precautions to mitigate against them, for example managing the amount of time spent on social media.
Here’s what Facebook has to say: “We want to talk openly about the impact spending time on online has on people. For us, Facebook is at its best when it's bringing communities of people together around the issues and causes they care about in a positive way. But it's also our responsibility to help our community of over 40 million people in the UK in every way that we can – and it's a responsibility we take very seriously. It's important to think about the amount of time people spend on social media, and also how they spend that time too."
