Description

On September 22nd, a landmark court ruling allowed expert testimony exposing the harm social media products cause children. From Meta to TikTok, Snap, and YouTube, these companies have long argued it’s content—not their addictive designs—that hurts youth. But experts in psychiatry, neuroscience, and tech safety say otherwise. In this episode, I break down their testimony, revealing how features like infinite scroll, likes, notifications and algorithms exploit adolescent development, contribute to addiction, and harm mental health. This is a monumental moment for families demanding accountability—and a crucial listen for any parent navigating the digital world.
