Pinterest CEO Bill Ready calls for youth social media ban. In a LinkedIn post, Ready urged world leaders to implement a clear standard prohibiting social media access for users under 16, citing Australia's recent ban as a model. This statement comes amid an ongoing Los Angeles trial examining youth social media use, with Google and Meta facing allegations that their platforms fuel a youth mental health crisis. Ready's position diverges from other major tech company leaders who face mounting regulatory and legal pressure regarding child safety. Pinterest currently requires users to be at least 13 to sign up in the US, while approximately one-third of its user base falls within the 17-25 age range.
