The Wall Street Journal’s multi-part investigation, “The Facebook Files,” suggests that Meta, formerly Facebook Inc., has been aware of how its platforms deleteriously impact today’s youth, notably teen girls.
What does all this mean? What are the main issues about which we should be concerned? What should we do to protect children and teens engaged with social media? What is Congress going to do? How can we encourage positivity on these platforms? On Wednesday, November 17th, 2021, Children and Screens hosted “Social Media Exposed: Where To Go From Here?” an “Ask the Experts” webinar, where a panel of distinguished experts answered all of these questions and more.
