A US court ruled that Meta and other tech companies must face thousands of lawsuits over social media addiction. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
According to the court ruling, major technology companies such as Meta may be held liable in thousands of lawsuits related to their platforms causing addiction among users. The lawsuits are based on allegations that companies concealed the impact of their products.
This decision opens the way for numerous claims against technology companies. Plaintiffs argue that social media platforms have harmed the mental health of young users and caused addiction.
The consideration of these cases could set an important precedent for the tech industry, as it raises new questions about the responsibility of social media companies. The court ruling may force companies to reconsider their approaches to assessing the impact of their platforms.
