Show Notes
Two major civil lawsuits in the US and Canada held Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snapchat accountable for designing apps that harm young peoples mental health. A jury awarded a twenty-year-old woman six million dollars for Instagram and YouTube worsening her depression and leading to suicidal thoughts. Four Ontario school boards filed similar suits, claiming the apps disrupt learning and mental well-being. Experts see this as a shift towards holding companies responsible for addictive designs, with more legal and policy changes expected.
