Show Notes
A Los Angeles jury has ruled that Meta and YouTube are liable for a twenty-year-old womans mental health struggles, awarding her three million dollars in damages. The verdict blames features like endless scrolls and autoplay for her addiction. The plaintiff, who started using YouTube at six and Instagram at nine, spent hours daily on the apps as a kid. The case could set a precedent for thousands of similar lawsuits, as Meta was also ordered to pay three hundred seventy-five million dollars in another child safety matter. The jury is now considering punitive damages, which could significantly increase the total.
