Minnesota AG Seeks Anecdotes About Youth Social Media Addiction

Social media users should share stories about how platforms like Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat are “affecting the physical and mental health of young people,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) said Monday. He invited state residents to share with his office stories about social media use and addiction among young users. This “will help us understand the harm these platforms are causing so we can better stop that bad behavior moving forward,” he said, citing his bipartisan investigatory work against companies like Meta and TikTok.
