Social media is the worst addiction, the youth filed a case against social media platforms

  Montreal: A teenager has filed a 

case against social media platforms 

in Canada saying it is a worst 

addiction.

According to details,

 

a 24-year-old Canadian citizen has 

filed a lawsuit stating that social 

media is the worst addiction, and is 

causing negative effects on mental 

health. 

The young man from Montreal, 

Canada has named Facebook, 

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and 

Reddit in his petition through law 

firm Lambert Advocates.

The teenager says that he started 

using social media in 2015, after 

which he faced difficulties in 

creative work and his physical 

condition deteriorated.

According to the law firm, 

the owners of these platforms have 

a responsibility to ensure the health 

and safety of users is a top priority, 

especially children, who according 

to Philippe Brault make up 52 

percent of children between the 

ages of 7 and 11 in Canada. Use 

social media.

According to the law firm, the 

young man behind the case limited 

his social media use to just 2 hours 

a day, but says the apps still affect 

his sleep and productivity.

Experts say that when social media 

channels such as meta-platforms 

like Facebook and Instagram are 

overused, they contribute to a 

range of mental health effects, such 

as anxiety, depression, Eating 

problems, low self-esteem, self-

harm, suicide etc.

Sadly, children and teens are the 

most affected by the harms of social 

media addiction, 

which is why so many teens and 

families are filing lawsuits related 

to the addiction, a law suit that 

collects these lawsuits. 

The information center said 

18 new cases were added to the 

Social Media Addiction (MDL) in 

July, bringing the total number of 

pending cases to 517
