The Competition and Consumer Authority is concerned about the impact of retention mechanisms on young consumers' excessive social media use. These mechanisms are often embedded in social media business models, leading to unintended prolonged usage.
To address this issue, the authority's behavioral unit is launching an experiment involving 300 youths aged 13-17. Participants will use an app that prompts reflection questions and tasks to manage their social media time effectively.
The app will encourage users to pause, reflect on their usage patterns, and set limits. A control group without tasks will also be included to compare the effectiveness of the intervention.
