Families Taking Action Against Social Media Platforms
Parents nationwide are stepping forward over growing concerns that social media platforms may contribute to addiction, anxiety, depression, and long-term psychological harm among children and teens.
Why Some Families Are Concerned
Public reports and lawsuits have raised concerns that certain social media platform features may contribute to anxiety, depression, compulsive use, sleep disruption, self-harm exposure, and other mental health challenges among teens and young adults.
Features such as infinite scroll, push notifications, and algorithm-driven content have been discussed in claims involving prolonged engagement and youth mental health concerns.
Independent attorneys may review submitted information to determine whether follow-up may be appropriate.
