Show Notes
In a landmark ruling, a Los Angeles jury ordered Meta and Google to pay a combined $3 million to a woman for allegedly fueling her social media addiction. The verdict targets addictive features on Instagram and YouTube, with Meta bearing 70% of the damages. The case is one of thousands targeting big tech platforms over user harms. Meta plans to appeal, and a potential punitive damages ruling could increase the total payout. Meanwhile, Meta faces a $375 million penalty in New Mexico for weak safeguards against child predators, signaling tougher scrutiny ahead for social media giants.
