## Resource

A Los Angeles jury found that Meta and YouTube knowingly created addictive platforms that harmed the mental health of a young woman. It’s a landmark decision that could serve as a roadmap for thousands of similar cases. But will this legal pressure lead to real change to how social media platforms operate? And what can parents learn from this case? Clare is joined by Nicki Petrossi, host of the podcast Scrolling 2 Death, and Sarah Gardner, founder and CEO of the Heat Initiative, to talk about what this verdict could mean for their kids and future generations. Clare also made a video a few months ago walking through safety features and tools for monitoring kids’ social media use. You can find that here.
