Episode Details

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams likens social media platforms to the new cigarettes, blaming them for fueling mental health issues and obesity in teens. He advocates for tough regulations, citing recent court wins against Big Tech. Meta, behind Facebook and Instagram, was ruled liable for harming young users mental health, while a New Mexico jury hit Meta with a $375 million penalty for child exploitation violations. Adams supports Australias ban on social media for under-sixteens and urges U.S. states to follow suit, keeping phones and apps out of classrooms to combat the screen time crisis.
