Meta and Google just lost a landmark social media addiction case. A tech law expert explains the fallout - The Conversation
Overview
A Los Angeles jury ruled that Instagram and YouTube have a design defect that makes them addictive, finding Meta and Google liable in a landmark case. Experts say the decision is unlikely to be the last and could prompt further litigation, regulation, and investor scrutiny. New accusations in Europe that Meta failed to keep children off its services reinforce international concerns about platform design and safety, increasing the likelihood of cross-border legal and regulatory actions.
