He noted that while we don’t fully understand the effects of social media, there is evidence that it can “have a profound risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents.” The surgeon general called on policymakers, tech companies, researchers and parents to “urgently take action” to safeguard against the potential risks. But the research on the impact of social media use on teen mental health is inconclusive, which Murthy noted in his report. My colleague Matt Richtel, who reports on the effects of technology use on behavior and the brain, said the surgeon general’s messaging felt contradictory at points. “He says in the report that the science is conflicting while also raising alarm bells,” Matt said. There are still valid concerns, Matt said. The rise in social media use has coincided with declines in exercise, sleep and other activities considered vital to developing brains. At the same time, social media enables some young people to connect with others, find community and express themselves. “We need a better framework,” Matt said. “It has been too simple to blame social media in part because it lets us deflect our own collective culpability around the massive role that screen time plays in our lives, for good and ill.” Go deeper: Read Matt’s reporting on the [link between social media and adolescent mental health](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmT7ytP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wOC8yMi9oZWFsdGgvYWRvbGVzY2VudHMtbWVudGFsLWhlYWx0aC10ZWNobm9sb2d5Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA1MjMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTMzMTEmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzMzcyNyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZGKtN21kaUHb0VIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

Russian authorities said they had pushed the militants back into Ukraine, but representatives for the anti-Kremlin group said its attacks were ongoing. Russian officials blamed Ukraine’s military for the incursion, saying the violence justifies Moscow’s broader war.
