Jury Begins Deliberations in Social Media Addiction Trial Against Meta and YouTube

A jury in Los Angeles is set to begin deliberations in a landmark trial where Meta and YouTube face allegations of contributing to a young woman's social media addiction and related mental health issues. The plaintiff, identified as Kaley, claims early social media use worsened her depression and suicidal thoughts. Defendants argue her struggles stem from pre-existing personal challenges. The verdict could influence thousands of similar lawsuits against social media companies.
