'We must 'force' social media to redesign harmful algorithms, platforms that fuel addictive behavior
Charles Pellegrin is pleased to welcome Hannah Storey, Head of Children and Young People’s Digital Rights at Amnesty International. Digital spaces can provide even young people with community, self-expression, education and opportunities for activism. The deeper problem, she warns, lies in the architecture of the platforms themselves: the algorithms, infinite scrolling and other engagement mechanisms that can repeatedly amplify harmful material, stir up negative emotions and incite troubling behaviours - all to bolster a business model built around attention, emotions, addition, data and advertising.

Visible evidence
- Source published (RSS): 17 Sept 2026, 16:52 CEST. Publication time from the source RSS/feed
- The report is assigned to the Global Security dossier.
- The visible source is France 24 - English.
Still unclear
- 5 direct reports nearby, but not automatically the same core claim.
- 5 related reports in the same dossier may add context.
- The page rates the evidence trail, not the political truth of a position.
Why it matters
This report is assigned to the Global Security dossier. It matters because it adds a concrete new trail in the current source window. The brief uses 3 sources in the surrounding context while keeping timestamp, publisher and original URL visible.
Trust assessment
Public broadcaster or established direct source. The report remains medium until an independent second trail visibly supports the same core claim.
Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
