Meta YouTube addiction trial verdict delivers seismic shift
Meta YouTube addiction trial verdict reshapes tech liability as jury finds platforms negligent for addictive design harming youth mental health.https://thedemocracyadvocate.com/news-to-know/tech-news/meta-youtube-addiction-trial/
Zuckerberg defended beauty filters to a Los Angeles jury despite eighteen Meta experts unanimously concluding they harmed teenage girls. This first of 1,600 child safety cases bypasses Section 230 by targeting product design rather than content - a strategy that could reshape how platforms face liability. Internal docs show teen engagement became Meta's "top priority" in 2017.

I did a thread on the SCOTUS #section230 judgements on #platformliability and #safeharbour. Really, really want to discuss and need out about it.
