The deadly consequences of social media | Four Corners

by

After 20 years of unfettered growth, a realisation is dawning about the true cost of social media.

And it’s the younger generations facing the brunt of the deadly consequences.

As Australia grapples with how to regulate social media, in the US, thousands of parents are taking up the fight to hold these hugely profitable tech giants accountable…through the courts.

In the last Four Corners episode of 2024, reporter Louise Milligan speaks to whistleblowers, one of the lawyers running the case, and a family devastated by the loss of their 18-year-old daughter.

As Meta introduces new protections for young people, insiders and families who’ve witnessed the most tragic consequences tell Four Corners enough is enough.

For the first time in history, mental illness and suicide have become one of the greatest threats to school-aged children. Many parents still view dangers as primarily physical and external, but they’re missing the real danger: kids spending more time online and less time engaging in real life, free play, and autonomy. What are the effects on the next generation’s mental, physical, and spiritual health? Childhood was more or less unchanged for millennia, but this is CHILDHOOD 2.0.
