Three of the world's largest technology companies are set to face a landmark trial in Los Angeles this week, accused of deliberately addicting and harming children through their platforms. Meta's Instagram, ByteDance's TikTok, and Google's YouTube are named in the claims.
Jury selection commences this week in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. This marks the first time these companies will argue their case before a jury, with the outcome potentially having profound effects on their businesses and how they manage child users. The selection process is expected to last several days, with 75 potential jurors questioned daily until Thursday.
