In this Italian commentary, the speaker discusses New York City's recent formal lawsuit against social media platforms, alleging that they deliberately engineer addictive mechanisms that harm young users. The lawsuit is supported by the city's school district and health authorities, emphasizing that excessive platform use can cause damaging consequences for youth. The speaker critiques the pervasive attention‑grabbing tactics of digital operators, likening them to real‑world retail strategies, and argues that digital tools make these tactics more invasive. To mitigate the problem, three main actions are proposed: (1) platforms must improve consumer‑safety tools, especially age verification for under‑13 users; (2) a stronger emphasis on digital education for users, parents, and children; and (3) highlighting that quality content exists on social media, which requires better discovery skills. The speaker also mentions ongoing Italian collaborative work with AGCOM, the Antitrust Authority, and the launch of an Instagram‑based initiative called "Sprint_ita" that aims to showcase valuable content and promote safe social‑media habits among young people.
