Lawsuit: New York is accusing Meta and Alphabet of spurring a youth mental health crisis

Over one-third of 13- to 17-year-olds report using one of these social media platforms "almost constantly" and admit this is "too much," according to the complaint. Yet more than half struggle to cut back on their social media use, the complaint finds.
