US court mandates Meta face lawsuits over app addiction
The decision by an American appellate court to allow the continuation of lawsuits against companies such as Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snapchat has been approved. These lawsuits accuse the companies of designing their products in a way that causes addiction among users, particularly teenagers. The case involves over 3,000 lawsuits filed in federal court, alleging that the companies deliberately engage in actions that lead to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and body image issues among youth in the United States. The court clarified that Section 230 provides companies with a defense against legal liability, but does not exempt them from the lawsuits themselves.
