Over the past decade, we have seen just how addictive and overwhelming the online world can be, exposing our children to a non-stop stream of harmful content and fueling our national youth mental health crisis, Mayor Eric Adams, via statement.

Today, we’re taking bold action on behalf of millions of New Yorkers to hold these companies accountable for their role in this crisis, and we’re building on our work to address this public health hazard.

Spokespeople for the defendants deny the allegations.

We regularly partner with experts to understand emerging best practices, and will continue to work to keep our community safe by tackling industry-wide challenges, TikTok spokesperson, via statement.

Providing young people with a safer, healthier experience online has always been core to our work, Google spokesperson, via statement.

We want teens to have safe, age-appropriate experiences online, and we have over 30 tools and features to support them and their parents.

While we will always have more work to do, we feel good about the role Snapchat plays in helping close friends feel connected, happy and prepared as they face the many challenges of adolescence, Snap Inc.
