Countries Are Banning Social Media. So Why Isn't America?

Countries around the world are moving to protect children from social media. So why is America still waiting? The United Kingdom has announced plans to ban social media for children under 16, joining a growing international movement demanding stronger safeguards for young users. In this episode of The Real Story, Dr. Phil examines the research linking excessive social media use to anxiety, depression, loneliness, cognitive decline, cyberbullying, self-harm content and dangerous viral challenges. Dr. Phil also shares the devastating stories of parents who lost children after online harms, explains how algorithms are engineered to keep young users scrolling and examines the legal protections that have helped shield major technology companies from accountability. But parents do not have to wait for Congress. Dr. Phil outlines practical steps families can take now, including delaying social media access, organizing phone-free communities and working with other parents to give children their childhood back. The verdict on unregulated social media is becoming impossible to ignore. The question is whether America will act before more families pay the price.
