Jury Finds Meta and Google Liable in Landmark Social Media Addiction Trial
A jury in Los Angeles Superior Court reached a verdict Wednesday in a major "social media addiction" personal-injury trial - finding both Meta Platforms Inc. (Instagram) and Google (YouTube) liable for harms suffered by the plaintiff.

The jury awarded the plaintiff - a now-20-year-old woman identified in court filings as K.G.M. (publicly referred to as “Kaley”) - $3 million in compensatory damages, assigning 70 percent of the award to Meta and 30 percent to Google, according to Courthouse News' Hillel Aron. The verdict came after more than eight days of deliberations.
