Bloomberg News Announces the Launch of “Can’t Look Away: The Case Against Social Media,” a Documentary Exposing Extreme Harms to Young Users Linked to Social Media

Caution – I attempted to view this but, after going through the registration process, I was greeted with a $15 or more charge on Jolt.   Very disappointing.   While I understand the need to pay for productions, a mandatory $15 or more charge for a rental is too high.  I’ll wait for it to be available for a lower or no cost.

****************************

Can’t Look Away follows a team of lawyers battling several tech companies, fighting for families whose children suffered devastating harm – suicide, drug overdose, or exploitation – tied to social media. Through emotional testimonies and high-stakes legal battles, the film exposes the tension between corporate profit and child safety, revealing catastrophic failures. As families seek justice, Can’t Look Away serves as a wake-up call about the dangers of social media and the urgent need to protect its youngest users.

“This documentary tells the painful stories of families seeking justice for their loved ones who have suffered unimaginable harm,” said Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. “Can’t Look Away, which draws on Olivia Carville’s extensive reporting, shines a much needed light on the way that tech giants still try to avoid responsibility for the content on their platforms, despite the enormously addictive power of the algorithms that they have built.”
