If the kids themselves are saying this is harming us, and they have the front row seat, they're the only ones who really know what's going on.

And then who has the next best seat?

Meta.

They know exactly who saw what and when.

My group, we've compiled reports about, there are 28 or 30 studies that Meta did that came out during the trials in Los Angeles.

So Meta has done a lot of research, including an RCT, including a randomized controlled trial of getting kids off social media.

So the kids have the best seat and they say this is causing a lot of harm.

Meta and other companies have the second best seat.

Their own research shows that they're harming kids.

And this is just like the tobacco companies, their internal research showed harm.

who has the next best seat, the parents and teachers and coaches and therapists.

And we've collected all kinds of surveys of them.

Good luck finding more than a couple who think that this is good for kids, especially kids with anxiety problems.

So what I'm saying is there is so much, there's so many different lines of evidence saying this is hurting our kids.

And there are still psychologists.

I understand we're in a scientific debate.

There's still psychologists who say, okay, but I'm not persuaded.

It may just be, well, they can't say it's just a correlation anymore because there's so much experimental evidence.

Oh, yes.

Okay, sure, of course.
