Show Notes
California Attorney General Rob Bonta likens big social media companies to the tobacco industry, accusing them of designing addictive apps for kids while disregarding mental health risks. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez supports this comparison. Several states have passed laws requiring health warning labels on social media, similar to cigarette packs. Tech groups have faced legal challenges, with some wins but also skepticism from judges. Lawsuits against these companies are ongoing, with potential damages and redesign orders at stake. These cases could lead to safer platform designs and finally prompt Congress to act on kids online protections.
