Hi all, We are excited to announce the publication of a new CDT research report "More Tools, More Control: Lessons from Young Users on Handling Unwanted Messages Online <https://cdt.org/insights/more-tools-more-control-lessons-from-young-users-on-handling-unwanted-messages-online/>". The project, led by my colleague Michal Luria, presents the perspective of teenagers and young adults on the problem of unwanted and harmful content in online messaging. Using diary studies and interviews we studied the experiences of young people aged 14-21 over a 3 week period to understand the nature of unwanted messages they receive and how they address them. Our findings suggest that young people already employ several strategies for dealing with unwanted content. Indeed, they also had several ideas for how social media and other platforms can provide better tools to support their efforts at addressing unwanted content, which we outline in the report. We argue that as part of broader efforts to keep young people safe online, companies should invest more in supporting the ability of these users to protect themselves. You can find the PDF of the full report here <https://cdt.org/insights/more-tools-more-control-lessons-from-young-users-on-handling-unwanted-messages-online/>. We also have an article in Tech Policy Press <https://techpolicy.press/want-to-keep-teens-safe-online-listen-to-them/> from Michal Luria and Aliya Bhatia on the relevance of these findings to current policy debates about teen safety online. Please feel free to share and we welcome your feedback. take care, Dhanaraj -- *Dhanaraj Thakur* (he/him) | Research Director Center for Democracy & Technology |*cdt.org <https://cdt.org/>* *E:* dthakur@cdt.org | *P:* +1 202 407 8849
