Jury finds Instagram and YouTube liable in a landmark social media addiction trial

[K.I.T.T.]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Meta and YouTube must pay millions in damages to a 20-year-old woman after a jury decided the social media giant and video streamer designed their platforms to hook young users without concern for their well being.

The California jury’s decision Wednesday in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit could influence the outcome of thousands of similar lawsuits accusing social media companies of deliberately causing harm.

The plaintiff, known by her initials KGM, testified at trial that she became addicted to social media as a child and that this addiction exacerbated her mental health struggles. After more than 40 hours of deliberations, a majority of jurors agreed and awarded her $3 million in damages.

Jurors later recommended an additional $3 million in punitive damages after deciding the companies acted with malice, oppression or fraud in harming children with their platforms. The judge has final say over how much damages are awarded.

Is she hot and is there nudes?

Is she hot and is there nudes?

She's a minor so I hope not.

EDIT/CORRECTION: The article says she's twenty, but the lawsuit alleges she was mindfucked as a child. She's an adult now so maybe there's nudes. No idea what she looks like, though. Could be a heifer.

See my edit to the previous reply, my mistake. Nudes just might exist, considering she was addicted to Facebook and YouTube, the odds are pretty good she's an attention whore and probably has an only fans.

To each their own but she is not my type. They get big when they get addicted to Social Media.
Ill save you from permanent eye damage and just show you the mermaid pic instead of the nudes.

I’d do it for the team. Just need a lot of rum and flower.
