Episode Details

California jury holds Meta and YouTube accountable for young users mental health issues, awarding six million dollars to a woman who blames social media addiction for her anxiety, depression, and self-harm. This ruling, along with a similar decision in New Mexico, marks a significant shift in big tech companies liability for youth addiction. In Canada, experts warn of potential changes following these verdicts, with groups like Unplugged Canada advocating for a nationwide minimum age for social media. Meta and Google plan to appeal, but advocates urge parents to delay kids access to social media.
