Reactions to the US Supreme Court’s TikTok Ruling
Nicole Gill, Executive Director and Co-Founder, Accountable Tech: "Although social media is a tool for connection, community, and exploration, it is also a weapon for mass disinformation, manipulation, and addiction.

But they are not alone: Meta and other U.S. companies use similar tactics to addict and exploit their users – including young people – in this country and around the world."
