'Downward spiral': French mother says social media drove her teen to commit suicide
A French mother whose 15-year-old son died by suicide has launched a legal fight against some of the world’s biggest social media platforms, alleging their algorithms flooded him with self-harm content that drove him into a “downward spiral”. This comes as France is considering a possible ban on social media for teens, similar to one that took effect in Australia on Wednesday.
