Summary

How young is too young for teenagers to have access to social media? That's the question that lawmakers are asking on Capitol Hill this week as the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to scrutinize the impact social media has on the mental health of children and teenagers. For years, researchers have warned of the negative consequences social media platforms have on developing minds, including eating disorders, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Now, the Senate is proposing rules that would regulate content on apps and provide parents with more tools, but is this enough? Congressman Chris Stewart (R-UT) joins the Rundown to discuss why he wants to ban social media access for teens under the age of 16, as well as the bipartisan efforts to hold social media companies accountable. The Federal Aviation Administration faced tough questions at Wednesday’s Senate hearing, with lawmakers grilling FAA officials for answers about last month’s national air traffic shutdown. The FAA Administrator Billy Nolen assured legislators on the panel that the system issues and recent string of near accidents would be addressed, and their safety messaging protocols would be updated. Aviation expert and President of Boyd Group International, Michael Boyd, joins the Rundown to discuss why this pattern of aviation safety incidents has become concerning, how delays in the FAA’s modernization will create further problems, and the factors that contributed to Southwest Airlines’ massive flight cancellation meltdown. Plus, commentary by Fox News Medical Contributor and author of "Panic Attack," Dr. Nicole Saphier. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
