What TikTok knew of the app’s toll on teens
Update: 2024-10-12
Description
This week, more than a dozen states came together to sue TikTok over the social media app’s effects on young users. Now, a report by NPR and Kentucky Public Radio shows executives at the company were well aware of the harms to teens. We’ll get into it. Plus, is the cost of rebuilding after a natural disaster becoming a luxury few can afford? And, would you wear pajama pants to school or work? That and more in a round of Half Full/Half Empty.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “TikTok executives know about app’s effect on teens, lawsuit documents allege” from NPR
