Show Notes
A Los Angeles jury holds Meta and Google negligent in a landmark case, drawing parallels to Big Tobacco lawsuits. The issue? Social media apps like Instagram and YouTube are designed to be addictive, with documents from a Kentucky lawsuit against TikTok revealing tracking methods to keep users engaged. Tech overuse contributes to mental health struggles, and while screen blockers help, theyre not enough against engineered pulls. New research from neuroscientist Judson Brewer suggests mindfulness can rewire the brains reward loops, offering hope. Calls for government action to protect users, especially kids, from digital traps grow louder.
