The lawsuit claims YouTube amplifies harmful material and drives youth engagement, resulting in increased mental health problems that correlate with the growth of social media.
In the face of the lawsuit, Google asserts that providing young people with a safer online experience has always been central to their operations, emphasizing their work with mental health experts.
The complaint underscores that while YouTube has policies requiring parental permission for users under 17, kids often circumvent these measures, raising concerns about their exposure to harmful content.
U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has urged Congress to mandate warning labels on social media platforms regarding their effects on youth, akin to cigarette health warnings.
