I am an adult, and it affects my mental health when I go on Instagram. I am much healthier not using social media, it really digs into your insecurities.
If only more people would watch this video and share it. Also, you shouldn't believe everything you read and see on social media. And you should always always fact-check information.
Excellent coverage. About timr the truth comes out. I'm glad my kids are now all adults. There is no stopping this monster called 'social media" and while these companies continue to reap enormous profits they will never regullate themselves. The laws must change, NOW !
I think it is always about how you use it. Accessing rubbish has the likely consequences, however, using it for social justice e.g. what is happening in Palestine then it is great, a reason for why it should not be banned. Just be selective with what you like!
Most brilliant to have the Australian Lifeline 24 Hours Phone Number or Chat for any of us in Distress right there on the screen, wish you did that for all your possibly triggering programs - Well Done
WOW THERES ACTUALLY COMMENTS, BUT IM SO USED TO BEING IGNORED THAT I DONT PARTICULARELY WANT TO HELP ANYMORE, IM JUST HERE TO SIP ON MOJITO'S WHILE SOCIETY COLLAPSES
Its out of the parents hands. Were losing our kids in so many ways and then for it to be taking lives. Its got to go to the next level. I hope there is justice served for these families ❤

Adults are also affected. I think many of us are addicted, sleep less, are less efficient and are manipulated.
and we are scared. Anyone can wake up and decide that a group of people should be attacked and people would run with it then attack.
I've been off socials for about 7 years. Just my opinion but I don't miss it.
Me too, for about 3 now. I have more time and I enjoy life more than ever.
How is it without social media?
I’ve been off for a year and it’s bliss 😊
Ummm... Hate to tell you both, but....
lol as proven by your comment on a social media platform.
Putting profits first is not just a media platform concern, it is the core of what is wrong with capitalism!
14 years ago I deactivated my Twitter and Facebook accounts and don’t miss social media at all.
Anti-social media.
So true
It's about how you use it. Same as TV, video games, etc anything really.
Three words that describe social media: worst invention ever
Parents arm their children with phones.
Enough said.
I quit FB 5 years ago. Not missing out on anything.
Thank you once again ABC for addressing difficult questions with difficult answers
Why do people believe in Elon Musk so much? Is there anything honourable about the man?
Yes
And what do you know about him?
They mistake wealth for merit.
Because people want to believe in something, a saviour, hence religion still exists.
Money talks
Don’t give a kid access to the full internet!!

You do realise THIS is social media, right???
Why is it called "social"?. It's anything but
Love how the ABC is taking a genuine anti-racist stance. Thank you ABC
the four cornered ministry of truth deigns to allow us to comment. We are so honored.
radical transparency rising
allowing us to be social on social media
Do you ever wonder if you might be spending too much time online?
mate you wouldn’t believe what it was like when four corners first started, you couldn’t comment anywhere online!!!!!!!
Ban twitter and live in peace
This world is getting REAL SCARY 😳😲😱😢😡

Right
Disagree with you... you can only use it as they want... the problem is the design.
Yeah easy done with smart teenagers, right??
💯
Yes raise your children and take care of your self
It's up to the people to force this change. Let's make these billionaires hear our cry!!!!!
I encourage all to delete their social media accounts or at least fast from engaging at least once a week.
Idiots abound in the world. And most of them think they're clever.
What happened to parental controls??

On the fence with Musk !! Social media is media for the socials
Its so sad what happened to those 3 poor little girls, god bless them, may god rest their sweet beautiful souls 🙏🏻😘💗💗💗💗💗💗
It's not the government's job to moderate social media.
It’s all about how one uses social media.
What company doesn’t put profits first???
Oh, how hypocritical of 4 Corners.....Australians have been dumbed down by their Premiers and Prime Minister. Look at your own country!!
,Never used it never will,
What do you think this is
You're on it now
You do realize the you tube is a social media platform as well, right?
What do you think TH-cam is? You're on Social Media now ... DUH!
And what do you hope comes out of this four corners? 🙄
Awareness OBVIOUSLY
An informed audience. What happens in other countries eventually happens here . 🇦🇺
awareness, education, that people consider their own connection to social media
What a precious thing our public broadcaster is. Thanks for all that you do for our country.
Old mate in the grey tracksuit copped it sweet!!!
Ouch!!!!
No lies were told. We now know it was true

Totally, utterly out of control. We are threatened by the monster we created.
Who was right?
ABC is so one-sided. I'm bored now.
