Show Notes
Social media giants Meta and YouTube face hefty fines totaling $381 million, following two landmark jury verdicts in New Mexico and California. The cases accuse the platforms of exacerbating mental health issues in children through addictive features. Despite the rulings, Meta and Google plan appeals, arguing the fines wont significantly impact their operations. However, New Mexicos next court phase could mandate changes for local users, such as stricter age checks and predator bans. As more similar suits emerge from attorneys general in over forty states, pressure mounts on platforms to reconsider their impact on young minds.
