What Social Media Companies
Are Accused Of

Internal documents and whistleblower testimony have revealed that major platforms knowingly designed features that exploit children's developing brains.

🔌

Addictive Design Patterns

Infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, and variable reward mechanisms intentionally modeled after slot machine psychology to maximize screen time among minors.

👁

Algorithmic Exploitation

Recommendation algorithms that detect vulnerable users and deliberately serve them increasingly extreme content, including self-harm and eating disorder material.

🔒

Data Harvesting of Minors

Collecting vast amounts of personal data from children under 13 without proper parental consent, violating COPPA and state privacy laws.

😶

Concealing Known Harms

Internal research showed platforms knew their products caused depression, anxiety, and body image disorders in teens — yet suppressed findings and continued targeting youth.

📷

Predatory Beauty Filters

AR filters and image manipulation tools that warp children's self-perception, fueling body dysmorphia and a documented surge in teen cosmetic procedure requests.

🌐

Failure to Age-Gate

Knowingly allowing children under 13 to create accounts with minimal verification, then applying the same addictive mechanics as adult users.

What Investigations Have Uncovered

A growing body of evidence from whistleblowers, leaked documents, and government investigations has exposed the truth about Big Tech's impact on children.

Internal Research

“We Make Body Image Issues Worse for 1 in 3 Teen Girls”

Leaked internal studies revealed the platform's own researchers documented that their product was causing significant mental health harm to teenage users — and leadership chose to suppress the findings.

Federal Investigation

FTC Charges Platform with Illegally Collecting Children's Data

Federal regulators found that platforms knowingly collected personal information from children under 13 and failed to delete accounts even after being notified the users were underage.

Surgeon General Advisory

U.S. Surgeon General Issues Formal Warning on Youth Mental Health

The nation's top physician has called social media a “profound risk” to children's mental health, citing the addictive design, harmful content exposure, and impact on self-esteem and sleep.

State Attorney General Action

42 States File Historic Lawsuit Alleging Harm to Children

A bipartisan coalition of attorneys general have filed suit alleging social media companies designed features that are addictive and harmful to the mental health of young Americans.
