The Panic Over Social Media and Youth

TikTok bans and legally prohibiting minors from having social media accounts is being fueled by fears that social contagion is making young people trans. While this fearmongering about social media hurts young people, there are real concerns when it comes to social media, such as addictive algorithms. Katelyn and Oliver have a frank and nuanced conversation about the current conversation about social media, what's missing and what we should actually be doing to protect young people and make social media safer.
