What states are doing to try to limit social media for teens

Nearly 95% of teenagers aged 13-17 report using social media, with more than a third of them saying they use the platforms “almost constantly,” according to a U.S. Surgeon General advisory released last year.

While the report found some benefits of social media among youth, it also found “ample indicators that social media can also have a profound risk of harm” to the mental health and well-being of children.
