What is the social media addiction lawsuit?

The social media addiction lawsuit is a wave of civil claims, coordinated in federal MDL No. 3047 (N.D. California) and parallel state court proceedings, alleging that Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and Roblox designed addictive features – such as infinite scroll, autoplay, and algorithm-driven recommendations – that caused depression, anxiety, self-harm, and other harm in children and teens. In March 2026, a California jury found Meta and YouTube negligent in the first bellwether trial, awarding $6 million in damages.
