(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong today submitted testimony in support of legislation he proposed with Governor Ned Lamont to combat youth social media addiction, including by prohibiting social media companies from exposing minors to harmful and addictive algorithms and notifications without parental consent. “Young people spend hours each day glued to social media, with dire consequences for their learning, relationships, and mental health.
