US warning on child social media use

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about a US top health official's warning on child social media use.

A US surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, said that while not without benefits, "there are ample indicators that social media can also have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents."

Murthy's report said social media can help children and adolescents find a community to connect, but that it also contains "extreme, inappropriate, and harmful content," which can "normalise" self-harm or worse.
