Exclusive | 86% of Americans want Meta, Google held accountable for ‘predatory’ social media addiction crisis: survey

A whopping 86% of Americans want Meta and Google held accountable for their role in a social media addiction crisis that has fueled anxiety, eating disorders and even suicide among kids, according to a survey obtained by The Post.

Meanwhile, 67%, or a two-thirds of American voters, said they were more likely to vote for US lawmakers who supported legislation that would crack down on “dangerous social media features like infinite scroll, near-constant notifications, and predatory algorithms,” the survey showed.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is set to testify starting Wednesday in the landmark California trial accusing Facebook, Instagram and Google’s YouTube of fueling social media addiction to boost their profits. The trial began on Feb. 9 and is expected to stretch into March.
