An increase in teen depression and mental health disorders over the last decade has largely been attributed to the widespread adoption of the smartphone by adolescents. Parents are obsessively worrying about screen time and the effects it could have on their children.
One such parent is Zephyr Teachout, attorney, author, political candidate and associate professor of law at Fordham University. Teachout joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss the dangerous and addictive content teens are being fed by social media platforms. They also talked about the government's role in regulation, the status of the TikTok ban and how the algorithm preys on children's weaknesses.
