A Gen Z Reporter Questions Jonathan Haidt, author of ‘The Anxious Generation’

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Over the past few months, we&rsquo;ve been closely covering the major lawsuits against Meta over the ways its apps have hurt young people.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This week, we&rsquo;re sharing a special episode of "Left To Their Own Devices", a Peabody-nominated series hosted by Gen Z reporter and tech-safety advocate Ava Smithing.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Recorded live on stage shortly after the recent jury verdicts against Meta and YouTube, Ava interviews NYU social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of the wildly influential "The Anxious Generation", about his ideas for how to keep kids safe from social media -- some of which Ava doesn't buy into.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It&rsquo;s a timely conversation as courts and policymakers continue to grapple with how to hold tech companies accountable, and force them to make their products safer for young people.&nbsp;</span></p>
