social media is a weapon of mass consumption

END SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION

Secure UK legislation to protect young people from the addictive nature of social media and mandate ethical tech design.

Use our lived experience and the latest research to educate young people, parents and carers on the harms of social media addiction.

With our research partner, produce an international league table of productivity loss due to social media.

The average 17 year-old spends almost 6h per day on social media. That's 42h per week, and 91 days per year. If this continues, we can expect to lose 2 decades of our life to endless scrolling.
Social media companies use intermittent random reward to addict children - the same psychological manipulation tactics as gambling companies.
Children who spend 3+ hours per day on social media face double the risk of mental health problems including depression and anxiety.
Social Media damages productivity, worsens polarisation and decays democracy, ultimately harming all economic agents
