Does Social Media Seriously Harm Your Mental Health?

The majority of people have at least one social media account. The younger you are, the more likely you are to have accounts on everything from Instagram to TikTok. Many people monetize their content on these platforms and make a living on sites such as Twitch and YouTube. While these platforms are designed to bring people together, they can also adversely affect mental health and well-being.

But does social media seriously harm your mental health? You or someone you care about may have already experienced the downside of social media use, possibly even resulting in severe consequences. The insidious thing about social media is that its developers use algorithms intended to drive users to consume more and more content, even if that content can be harmful. In some cases, people have been driven to suicide or become radicalized, leading to deadly results. Should social media developers be held accountable when aware of the harm their product can cause?

It isn't easy to take on social media platforms because they are some of the biggest companies in the world. Furthermore, they are shielded from accountability since they are not considered publishers under current U.S. laws. Nevertheless, this area of the law is fluid and still catching up to technological developments. Morgan and Morgan have been pioneers in holding negligent companies accountable for more than 35 years. We're not afraid to bring a landmark lawsuit that could change how courts view these types of businesses moving forward. Let's take a look at how social media can cause serious harm to mental health and your legal options if you or a loved one were harmed.
