And the next place will be the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the ban on June 15, calling social media \u201caddictive by design\u201d and declaring it was \u201ccontributing to children\u2019s unhappiness.\u201d Legislation goes to Parliament before Christmas, with the ban set to take effect in early 2027. <\/p>\n<p>The UK is following Australia, which enacted the world\u2019s first national social media ban for minors late last year. France, Spain, and more than a dozen other countries have moved in the same direction. In the United States, at least 19 states have already passed laws restricting minors\u2019 access to social media platforms \u2014 with eight states enacting outright bans or parental consent requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The dominoes, it appears, are falling.<\/p>\n<p>Ringelstein, 39, launched Zigazoo in 2020, during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, after watching his young children come home and immediately start asking about their friends. Not their schoolwork. Their friends. The social instinct in kids, he realized, wasn\u2019t going to be wished away. It was going to find an outlet \u2014 and every existing outlet was built for adults, monetized by engagement metrics that didn\u2019t distinguish between a 30-year-old and a 12-year-old.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cTikTok \u2014 really terrible for kids,\u201d he told <em>Fortune<\/em>, adding that it\u2019s the \u201csame story\u201d with Instagram and, in his view, YouTube, which has a lot of \u201cdetrimental content.\u201d The whole idea for the business wasn\u2019t really a business, just a thought: \u201cwhy don\u2019t we give kids a safe place to connect?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment, a TikTok spokesperson told <em>Fortune<\/em>, \u201cWe share the government\u2019s goal of safe online experiences for teens, which is why teen accounts on\u00a0TikTok\u00a0have more than 50 preset safety and privacy settings, such as private accounts, and we continue to invest in the latest technologies to advance platform safety.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Likewise, a Meta spokesperson insisted, \u201cWe share the goal of keeping teens safe online, which is why we developed Teen Accounts to automatically limit who can contact them and the content they see.\u201d Like other companies in the space, Meta said it doesn\u2019t think bans will achieve the goal of safety, specifically noting that in Australia, \u201cbans risk isolating teens from online communities and information, and driving them to unregulated alternatives that lack built-in protections and parental controls.\u201d Restrictions must be underpinned by an age verification system on devices in order to be both safe and effective, so people aren\u2019t asked to hand over ID to dozens of individual services to prove their age. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both TikTok and Meta said they would examine the details of the government\u2019s measures and vowed to continue to engage with governments on the issue. YouTube did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s obvious that Zingelstein is correct about the growing momentum on this movement, but less obvious that these bans are actually effective. Organizations including the Brookings Institution and Unicef have expressed concerns with bans along civil liberties lines, and on the fear that they could push children to unregulated spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Zigazoo can boast considerable momentum itself, even if its user base of more than 12 million users pales in comparison to roughly 3 billion for Instagram and 1.9 billion for TikTok. Ringelstein has attracted a roster of investors that includes Serena Williams\u2019 Serena Ventures, Ciara and Russell Wilson, Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s production company Wheelhouse, Christina Aguilera\u2019s family, and Charlie D\u2019Amelio. The NBA, Major League Baseball, U.S. Soccer, Nintendo, Netflix, DreamWorks, Disney, and Apple TV are all partners. Ciara posts on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Zigazoo users must verify their age to join. Adults cannot contact minors. The algorithm is designed not to maximize engagement at any cost, but to surface age-appropriate content and creative expression \u2014 what Ringelstein called a \u201cdevelopmentally appropriate walled garden.\u201d When Australia enacted its landmark ban, he said, the government called Zigazoo\u2019s engineers directly to ask how they manage what they manage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is rocket science,\u201d Ringelstein said, \u201cto keep kids safe at scale \u2014 especially with AI.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The platform\u2019s newest feature is a live video product \u2014 something TikTok and Instagram have quietly restricted for younger users as regulatory scrutiny has mounted. On Zigazoo, the biggest YouTube creators, who are more famous among children than most Hollywood stars, can go live directly with their young audiences in a moderated, age-verified environment. Ringelstein demonstrated this recently at a career day at his children\u2019s school: he named five major YouTube creators on the platform and every kid in the room knew them.<\/p>\n<p>Ringelstein said he doesn\u2019t see himself as a founder or a businessman, but a sort of social worker who happens to work in tech almost accidentally. It runs in his family, he explained. He grew up in rural New Hampshire in a classic kind of Northeastern hippie enviromment \u2014\u00a0the son of a social worker and a childbirth educator. His community was so small, he said, that neighbors shoveled each other\u2019s driveways and a local dentist might accept a painted garage door in lieu of payment. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=1934\">The tribe called the world\u2019s best fathers gets outpaced by rich American dads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He was shocked by what he found at Columbia University in a way that mirrors his shock at the social-media landscape\u2014he had expected to find his people and found an alienating culture of naked ambition instead. \u201cI sort of felt frustrated by the values of the Ivy League students around me and their pursuits,\u201d he said, speaking slowly. \u201cI felt like they were not necessarily noble and they weren\u2019t pursuing anything that I found meaningful, for the most part.\u201d He added that he wouldn\u2019t call himself particularly \u201cnoble,\u201d but the idea of \u201cservice\u201d is very important to him. That guided what he ended up doing and what turned into a career.<\/p>\n<p>It was a surprise because he couldn\u2019t wait to get out of the boondocks at first. He described his initial approach to college as \u201cget me the heck out of New Hampshire and get me to the people I belong with.\u201d But in the summers, he wasn\u2019t trying to land an internship on Wall Street or Silicon Valley. Instead, he spent his summers as a camp counselor. In fact, he was texting with <em>Fortune<\/em> this summer during another trip from his home in Coconut Grove, Miami, back to New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Ringelstein\u2019s passion for service led him to study abroad in east Africa, where he convinced Jeffrey Sachs to let him become the first intern for the Millennium Village Project, working directly with communities in extreme poverty. He taught elementary school through Teach for America. He sold his first company, an edtech startup called U-Class, to Renaissance Learning. He ran for Senate. By his telling, he\u2019s an accidental entrepreneur and tech founder, and he is guided by the same intention to do something useful that has always guided him.<\/p>\n<p>Ringelstein did have a moment of pandemic publicity when he went viral over a post in <em>Forbes<\/em> concerning public health, children\u2019s health and mask-wearing. A major reason he moved to Florida during the pandemic, he said, was out of a belief that it was harmful to keep his kids out of school. He described himself as a \u201chuge proponent of progressive education\u201d and declined to talk too much about politics, only saying, \u201cI don\u2019t necessarily think either party is a moral beacon right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The most significant attempt at federal kids\u2019 online safety law, COPPA 2.0, passed the U.S. Senate 92-3 in the final year of the Biden administration \u2014 bipartisan support as overwhelming as any bill in recent memory. Ringelstein helped redline the legislation. It died in the House anyway, killed not by opposition to its substance but by political calculus: Republicans didn\u2019t want to hand Biden a win. The law governing children\u2019s online activity in America today is still the original COPPA \u2014 written in 1998, a decade before the App Store existed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody agrees with this,\u201d Ringelstein said. He argued that it\u2019s a consensus opinion that kids spend too much time online and consume too much harmful content, but opposition comes down to \u201cwho has the most sway in Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He knows that world, too. Despite having run for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in Maine, Ringelstein now sits on Donald Trump\u2019s AI Task Force and works with the First Lady\u2019s office on children\u2019s digital safety. He describes himself as ideologically untethered \u2014 loyal to the issue, not the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy relationship with power is: no person who typically makes it to a position of power has strong ideology either way,\u201d he said. \u201cMy hope is that, given that I do have strong ideology and opinions on what\u2019s good for kids, I can influence whoever is in power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The major platforms, Ringelstein argued, are simply incapable of doing what Zigazoo does\u00a0\u2014 not unwilling, but structurally unable. Instagram and TikTok were built for adults and scaled to billions. Retrofitting them for genuine child safety, he said, would be like asking a nightclub to become a school: the architecture, business model and incentives won\u2019t allow it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are becoming basically tobacco companies or alcohol companies,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re just saying: \u2018We\u2019re going to serve the big spenders in society, as long as we can serve the under-18 demo,\u2019 because of course, they want to catch them young so they continue to raise them into their apps.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He said it was his firm belief that these platforms are \u201cincapable of operating in a safe way,\u201d arguing that they haven\u2019t been built ground up for kids and it would be impossible at their scale to build in that functionality now.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, he said he\u2019s not worried about these social media bans coming to the U.S. and wiping out his business model. He just believes his competitors will fail to adjust.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ringelstein is blunt about why he thinks this time is different. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat are explicitly named in the bans spreading across the UK and Australia. Zigazoo, by design, is explicitly exempt. And the political pressure, he argues, is just inevitable with the passage of time. \u201cMillennials are becoming parents,\u201d he said, \u201cand they know that social media is bad \u2014 even for them. And so they are enacting change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is, perhaps, the most hopeful thing he says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhat builds happiness and wellness for individuals?\u201d he said. \u201cFamily, friends, service, religion, nature. Do we pursue those things as a society? No. Even though we know these things [to be true].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=1930\">U.S.-Iran talks just started and Trump is already threatening to attack, causing negotiations to pause<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;These are global dominoes,&#8221; Zigazoo&#8217;s Zak Ringelstein told Fortune. &#8220;The under-16 social media bans are spreading and the next place will be the U.S.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The U.K. just banned social media for kids under 16.
