US Senate lawmakers held a bipartisan hearing on January 20, 2026, examining how tech companies design social media platforms with addictive features—like algorithmic feeds, endless scrolling, and frequent notifications—that target children and harm youth mental health.
Experts testified that these design tactics, which exploit developing brains, are linked to rising rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide among teens, especially girls.
Lawmakers highlighted growing screen time, widespread use of internet-connected devices in schools, and the risks posed by AI-driven content, calling for new regulations to restrict access for minors, limit algorithmic amplification, and hold companies accountable for harmful product designs.
