- Meta appeals landmark jury verdict that found it to blame for social media addiction for young users
Meta has appealed a jury verdict that found it negligent for designing social media platforms to addict young users, following a case involving a 20-year-old woman who claimed addiction worsened her mental health. The jury awarded $3 million in damages and $3 million in punitive damages, with Google-owned YouTube also named as a defendant. Both companies plan to appeal after post-trial motions to overturn the verdict were denied.
