Global Social Media Restrictions: A Shift in Online Governance
- Forecast for 6 months: In the next 6 months, we expect to see more countries introducing similar age restrictions on social media platforms. This will lead to a surge in the development of age verification technologies to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
- Forecast for 1 year: Within the next year, we anticipate that social media companies will invest heavily in content moderation and online safety features to mitigate the risks associated with online harm. This will lead to a shift in the way social media platforms are designed and used.
- Forecast for 5 years: In the next 5 years, we predict that the concept of social media will undergo a significant transformation. With the rise of alternative platforms and the increasing importance of online safety, social media will become more niche and specialized, catering to specific interests and demographics.
- Forecast for 10 years: Looking ahead to the next 10 years, we foresee a world where social media is heavily regulated and monitored. The lines between online and offline life will continue to blur, and the concept of online identity will become increasingly complex. Governments and tech companies will need to work together to ensure that the benefits of social media are balanced with the risks.
