      They’ll write a big check and go on about their business. Multi Billion dollar companies do not face REAL consequences in America.

      „Meta and [YouTube](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/youtube) have been found liable for negligence for deliberately designing addictive products that hooked a young user and led to her being harmed, a jury ruled on Wednesday. The tech companies have also been found liable for failure to warn. The jury awarded the plaintiffs in the case compensatory damages of $3m“

      Oh wow a whole 3 million.

      Good for the family but for a company like Facebook or Google that is a rounding error

      Compensatory damages equivalent to 12 seconds of annual profits LMAO. The American legal system is structurally incapable of holding large corporations to account even when they are found guilty

      And then the fine will just be the cost of doing buisness and continue like nothing ever happened

      I do think these platforms are intentionally trying to make people addicted, but at the same time where the fuck were the parents in this case? The article says that the girl got addicted to youtube at six and instagram at 9. That only happens if your parents don’t pay attention to you. We 100% need to hold these tech companies accountable but at the same time we also need to do the same thing to the parents. You can’t just give a smartphone or a tablet to your kid and completely neglect them and then blame everything on the platforms.

      What absolute nonsense. You could just as easily claim all social media or the internet in general is destructive. Maybe she should sue her ISP next for enabling these harmful products. Or sue the knife companies that enabled her to self harm. Pure lunacy, people just want to view themselves as victims with no agency these days it’s just pathetic.

      We were always blaming ourselves for wasting our time on scrolling, never thought someone would be taking it to court

      Friendly reminder that social media products/services found to be harmful towards young people are also still harmful to non-young people.

      Just uninstall it. You won’t miss it.

      I’m so sick of turning off the auto play on Reddit. Like fuck you, why even have it in the settings if you just turn it back on every week?

      Which reminds me, I have to go turn it off once again.

      From *Point Counter Point* by Aldous Huxley: „How do you know that the earth isn’t some other planet’s hell?“ The creeps and grifters that make billions from crap like Meta and politics surely indicate that it is.
