Why social media is toxic for teen mental health | Fault Lines Documentary

In 2021, a whistleblower inside Facebook disclosed a trove of documents showing that the company had studied its own platforms’ toxic effects on teen girls. The revelations struck a chord with Hillary Hamilton, a mother in Colorado who spent more than a year investigating whether social media may have contributed to her daughter’s death by suicide in 2020. Fault Lines examines the impact of social media on the mental health of teenagers.
