Show Notes
A Los Angeles jury has awarded a young woman, K.G.M., $3 million in damages from Meta and YouTube for allegedly hooking her as a child and damaging her mental health. The verdict marks a significant milestone as its the first time big tech has been held accountable for platform design, not just content. The jury blamed features like infinite feeds, autoplay, and notifications for creating an engineered addiction. The case could set a precedent for thousands of similar lawsuits and may prompt tech giants to reconsider how they engage young users.
