   NY designates social media an 'environmental toxin' for young people... there are some valid regulatory concerns around predatory marketing in and of apps like Instagram to children, but this is just a bit too cute. https://www.axios.com/2024/01/24/new-york-city-social-media-environmental-toxin

     @engagedpractx I guess you don't believe the actual science which simply does not support the claims that social media is inherently harmful to kids. If you read the entire piece and the accompanying pieces then you would know that.

     @joeo10 Urgh. This hyperbolic take ignores the metric shitton of research that data and society researchers have done into the harms young people are experiencing around social media platforms and practices. @mmasnick
