Design, not content. That's what a California jury ruled against Meta and YouTube.
On March 25, 2026, a jury found Meta and YouTube liable for building platforms engineered to keep kids scrolling — awarding $6 million in damages to a young woman who began using the apps as a child and suffered serious mental health consequences.
The case wasn't about a single post or video. It was about features like infinite scroll and autoplay, built specifically to be hard to stop using.
If your child struggled with anxiety, depression, or other mental health effects you connect to years on social media, you may have a claim.
