1 week agoLawsuit: 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. In January 2024, New York City's health commissioner declared social media a public health hazard, placing a strain on the city's resources as taxpayer dollars went toward addressing the resulting youth mental health crisis, the complaint says.
