A Los Angeles jury has ruled that Google and Meta's 'addictive' social media platforms harmed a young woman's childhood, the first verdict of its kind against the tech giants.
The plaintiff, a 20-year-old woman named Kaley, said she started using YouTube at age six and Instagram at nine. Despite the age restrictions, she easily accessed both platforms as a minor, according to the BBC report. 'I stopped engaging with family because I was spending all my time on social media,' she testified at court.
