VERBATIM: Dr. Vivek Murthy is calling on tech companies, parents and caregivers to take “immediate action to protect kids now.” With young people’s social media use “near universal” but its true impact not fully understood, Murthy is asking tech companies to share data and increase transparency with researchers and the general public. He’s also asking policymakers to address the harms of social media the same way they regulate things like car seats, baby formula and other products children use.
