They understand why we don't do notifications on social media.

Nothing in this documentary is really new info - just the examples are new. Everyone in tech has known this stuff for years.

Young teens will think it doesn't apply to them because the documentary talks so much about facebook and only old people use FB.


Interesting. Where I live teens do use FB.


It’s totally to throw you off their scent. I promise.


Not completely. They might do their main social media use somewhere else, but those with hobbies that involve a range of people might have accounts to manage those things.

OP
Yes, I think any teens who use social media should watch it. As parents, pay special attention to the stats on teen self-harm and suicide (and the correlation with the rise of social media.) Our kids were guinea pigs.

Here’s a link to a review. It’s rated PG-13, PP, so I’d say yes.
