Attorney General to Host Town Hall Meeting in Jackson on March 9 to Discuss Big Tech’s Impact on Children
The Tennessee Attorney General’s Office will host a town hall meeting on Thursday, March 9, 2023, in Jackson to discuss the impact Big Tech is having on Tennessee families, particularly children.
“Social media platforms hurt kids with products designed to be addictive and recommended content that exacerbates depression and self-harm,” General Skrmetti said. “Tennessee is proud to be a leader in pursuing transparency and accountability for social media companies. We look forward to hearing from Tennesseans across the state about how social media is affecting kids.”
The announcement comes as General Skrmetti, on behalf of Tennessee consumers, is investigating some social media companies. As part of its investigation, the Attorney General’s Office seeks to learn more about the problems Tennesseans have encountered regarding the harmful effects of social media on kids.
The meeting will be held Thursday, March 9, 2023, in Jackson, Tennessee at 6 p.m. CST at Southwest Tennessee Development District, 102 East College Street, Jackson, Tennessee 38301. The public is invited to attend.
