After YouTube and Meta are found liable, what’s next for social media addiction trials?

A California jury's decision could have significant ramifications for social media platforms and their feeds. A landmark lawsuit centered around a 20-year-old named Kaley ended with a decisive verdict: Meta and YouTube were found liable for the mental health woes Kaley experienced after years of regular scrolling. The legal team representing Kaley argued that she suffered from social media addiction, which exacerbated issues like anxiety, body dysmorphia, and suicidal ideation. After more than a week of deliberation, the 12-person jury supported that sentiment. According to the ruling, Meta and YouTube developed platforms they knew to be harmful, then failed to adequately disclose those risks to young people like Kaley.
