Social media use and health impacts on youth (msn.com).
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy called for stronger guidelines this week for social media use among children and teens, saying the platforms may pose a “profound risk” to young people’s mental health.
In a report issued on Tuesday, Murthy urged technology companies and lawmakers to take “immediate action” by formulating policies to protect young people from “addictive apps and extreme and inappropriate content” on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. (msn.com)
