Panel: Is social media taking a toll on young people’s well-being and how should platforms tackle the issue?

The panel on social media and young people's mental health will focus on one of the systemic risks that the very large online platforms have to identify, analyse, assess and alleviate under the Digital Services Act. The discussion will focus on evidence in the field, the responsibilities of the online platforms and actions that the platforms can take to mitigate potential risks to mental well-being.
