City & State: More than 80% of NY parents support law restricting app downloads for teens
A new report found that a majority of New York parents, especially those of color, support the creation of a law restricting children under 16 from downloading apps without parental consent.
The study, released by the Black Institute and conducted by Global Strategy Group, found that parents were more than 80% in favor of legislation to restrict teens from downloading apps without their permission. Additionally, the study found that 46% of Black parents were strongly in favor of such legislation, while 41% strongly favored it overall.
The study surveyed a group of 600 parents of children under 18 in New York state and included an oversample of 206 Black parents, with a margin of error of +/-4%.
