U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has joined the veritable cacophony of calls for increased restrictions on youth social media usage. In an advisory report released on Tuesday, Murthy declared that social media presents a "meaningful risk" of harming kids and teenagers.
"We have gaps in our full understanding of the mental health impacts posed by social media but at this point cannot conclude it is sufficiently safe for children and adolescents," writes Murthy.
