Congress acknowledges the rise in teen depression, self-harm, bullying, loneliness, and obesity since the advent of social media but has failed to take action. Despite multiple hearings and proposed legislation to address the issues by age-gating social media and reforming Section 230, which protects internet platforms from litigation, no concrete steps have been taken. Senator Dick Durbin emphasized the need for Congress to take responsibility and hold tech platforms accountable for the negative impacts of their algorithms by removing Section 230's liability shield for algorithmically boosted content.
