Summary
Meta is fighting back against a landmark jury verdict that found its platforms intentionally designed to be addictive for teens, awarding a young woman $3 million plus $3 million in punitive damages. The case, which centers on design features like infinite scroll and autoplay, could set a precedent for thousands of similar lawsuits. Meta argues teen mental health is complex and not solely tied to one app, while also appealing a separate $375 million penalty from a New Mexico jury. Google, too, plans to appeal, calling the motions standard legal procedure. This high-stakes battle highlights mounting pressure on social media giants as regulators and courts scrutinize their impact on youth.
