The majority of Americans get their news from social media sites like Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook rather than dedicated news sites like the BBC, The New York Times, Bloomberg. Often social media substitutes opinion for factual news. Our ability to seek out reliable information, analyze and critique it is essential to know what is happening in our world. Youngsters are especially at risk and there is a move to regulate their use of social media the same as we do for tobacco and alcohol, given its' similar addictive qualities.
