On February 4, 2025, around 20 youth activists protested outside Meta's London office, voicing concerns about how the company's practices harm young users' mental health. Organized by Just Treatment and led by those ages 18-30 with firsthand experiences of mental illness, the protest unveiled the 'Mad Youth Organise' campaign. Protestors brought attention to issues like cyberbullying, exposure to harmful content, and the effects of unrealistic body images promoted by Meta's platforms, which they argue are sustained by addictive algorithms.
