Emprise numérique: 5 femmes contre les big 5 (2024)

Adolescents who are connected to their smartphones for more than 5 hours a day are 66% more likely to suffer suicidal symptoms than those who use it for 1 hour a day. Currently, 44 U.S. states are suing Meta, blaming it for the malaise of an entire generation. Facing tech giants like Meta, TikTok, X and Snapchat, five women decided to take action. Alexis, a former screen addict, sued Meta, accusing it for promoting suicide. Elisabet, a mother of three, mobilized 10.000 parents, leading to a ban on smartphones in school. Sofia, a psychiatrist, treats minors addicted to screens. Laure, a lawyer, is fighting to change laws that protect digital giants.Through their stories, the film reveals a harsh truth: regulation technology is not just a social issue - it is a matter of public health and safety. —Thessaloniki Documentary Festival
