Arkansas Attorney General @AGTimGriffin, through court filings and his support for warning labels on social media platforms, shows a commendable commitment to protecting Arkansas children from social media's harms.
Today I filed suit against @Google, @YouTube, and their parent company for engaging in deceptive and unconscionable trade practices in violation of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (ADTPA).

YouTube has profited substantially off young Arkansans because it deliberately designed its platform to be addictive by using features to keep users engaged for as long as possible. tinyurl.com/yc4kcavr #arnews @alphabetinc
