Irish Medical Organization Warns of Social Medias Toxic Impact on Youth

The Irish Medical Organizations vice president, Professor Matthew Sadlier, has sounded the alarm about the dangers of social media apps for young people. He described these platforms as toxic during a recent medical conference in Dublin, highlighting how app designs, algorithms, and constant smartphone access create a harmful online environment. This environment pushes users, particularly children, towards extreme content that apps reward to keep them engaged. Sadlier urged the Irish government to use its upcoming European Union presidency to push for stricter rules and public education on these online risks. With doctors from across Europe calling for change, the push for safer social media is gaining international momentum.
