Episode Details

Tennessee just struck a $17 billion deal with Meta, exposing how internal documents revealed the company knew its apps were addictively harmful to teens — yet kept pushing them. Whistleblowers, former employees, and even the inventor of infinite scroll testified about the damage. Doctors linked these platforms to anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts in youth. As part of the settlement, Meta must enforce daily time limits, midnight-to-6AM lockouts, better age verification, and let parents disable addictive features — including those ignored by Mark Zuckerberg. Tennessee gets $750 million for teen mental health, and this is just the start: they’re targeting TikTok and YouTube next.
