A recent jury verdict finding major tech platforms liable for addicting young users could mark a turning point for digital well-being. On Mornings with Zerlina , DoSomething’s CEO DeNora Getachew talked about what this moment means for young people growing up online. For Gen Z and Gen Alpha, devices have always been part of daily life, but many young people are also recognizing the downsides to 24/7 connectivity, including comparing themselves to others, feeling the pressure of constant connection, and navigating platforms designed to keep them scrolling. At DoSomething, we hear it directly from our young members: safety and well-being have been one of their top concerns for the past five years. But the story isn’t all negative. Online spaces can also spark creativity, build community, and help young people organize for real-world impact. The question now is, how can we build a healthier digital future? 🎙️ Listen in as DeNora talks about how young people are stepping up, and why the digital world needs stronger guardrails to support them. #DigitalWellbeing #GenZ #YouthVoice #TechAccountability #DoSomething
