Shared telemetry for teen‑tech research

Researchers and technology companies should build governed data‑sharing pipelines that supply anonymized, content‑and‑context‑specific telemetry (time, app, content type, timestamps) to scientists so studies rely on accurate behaviour measures instead of self‑report. These partnerships must include privacy safeguards, independent oversight and common measurement standards to be useful and legitimate. — If adopted, it would shift the debate from arguments about aggregate 'screen time' to evidence about which platforms, content and usage patterns actually harm or help adolescent mental health, changing policy levers (age‑gates, content moderation, platform design).
