Hawley to introduce legislation holding social media companies accountable for harm they cause children
Fox News
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is introducing legislation that would establish a federal tort against social media companies in attempt to hold them accountable if they cause bodily or mental injuries to children.
The Missouri Republican's legislation comes after a Wall Street Journal report showed that Facebook's own internal documents admit that their products, including Instagram, harm the mental health of children.
"We make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls," read on part of the documents.
