According to a recent survey, about half of American adults stated that they get their news from platforms like Facebook and Instagram, with varying levels of accuracy and methods of accessing news across different platforms. Concerns have been raised regarding the mental health impacts of social media, prompting the U.S. Surgeon General to suggest posting warning labels similar to those on tobacco and alcohol products on social media apps to protect children and teenagers. Various studies have linked social media to risks such as depression, bullying, harassment, and even suicidal behavior among young people, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and parental monitoring of social media use.
