Meta faces a raft of social media addiction lawsuits | Social Media Today

Meta is facing a growing wave of lawsuits alleging that Facebook and Instagram were intentionally designed to be addictive and caused significant harm to users. A recent Ninth Circuit ruling allows additional cases to proceed, following a California jury decision that awarded $3 million each to plaintiffs against Meta and YouTube. Meta is challenging the claims and may face potentially massive financial liability if courts establish broader legal responsibility for social media addiction.
