Show Notes
Juries deliver blows to Meta, ruling it failed to protect young users and designed platforms for addiction, leading to mental health issues. These verdicts challenge Section 230, the law shielding social media firms from blame over user content. With thousands of similar suits pending, the results could force companies to change their apps and face financial hits. Meta and Google plan to appeal, but experts warn that the public is ready to hold tech giants accountable. States are also stepping up pressure with laws for age checks and warnings on apps aimed at kids. As more trials loom and scrutiny grows, social media may need to rethink addictive features and business models to keep kids safer.
