Meta and Google at fault in social media addiction case

In late March, a Los Angeles jury found Meta and Google at fault in a landmark case brought by a young woman who alleged that the companies’ platforms fueled a childhood addiction to social media, contributing to her depression and anxiety.

The jury awarded $6 million in damages, a decision that could set a precedent for hundreds of similar cases currently moving through U.S. courts.

Nasser Abujbarah, a Managing Attorney at Phillips Law Group joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss how this ruling is a turning point for social media accountability and how Arizona families could be impacted as similar lawsuits moving forward.
