Meta and Google lose landmark social media harm case
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
A Los Angeles jury has found Meta and Google liable for causing depression and anxiety in a young woman who used their platforms from childhood. The jury determined the tech giants were negligent in designing addictive platforms, awarding the now 20-year-old $3 million in damages plus $3 million in fines. This landmark case, described as a 'Big Tobacco moment' for big tech, could trigger thousands of similar legal challenges globally, though both companies plan to appeal.
