Meta and YouTube have to pay a 20-year-old woman $6 million (€5.1 million) in damages after a jury decided that the social media companies designed their platforms to addict young users.
The plaintiff, known by her initials KGM, testified at the trial that she spent up to 16 hours a day on social media platforms, specifically Meta platforms and Google's YouTube, as a child and that it exacerbated mental health struggles.
