4:36Now PlayingUniversity of North Carolina psychology professor Mitch Prinstein joins "NewsNation Live" to discuss Meta's historic $17 billion settlement over a lawsuit alleging teen social addiction on its platforms. Prinstein, who was set to testify against Meta before the company agreed to the settlement, discusses the impact social media can have on adolescent brain development and whether the changes included in the agreement go far enough to protect young users. "I think the changes are a really good start. I would love to see more," Prinstein said.
