Meta, Google Found Liable in Social Media Addiction Case - Bloomberg.com
Overview
A jury found Meta and Google liable and ordered damages to a 20-year-old woman who said social-media addiction harmed her mental health. Legal analysts called the verdict the first to identify an addictive design defect and warned it could spark more lawsuits, regulatory action, and investor pressure. Allegations in Europe that Meta failed to keep children off Instagram and Facebook echo the U.S. findings and may heighten regulatory and legal risk for the company overseas.
