US Appeals Court Allows Addiction Lawsuits Against Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat
A US appeals court has ruled that thousands of lawsuits against major tech companies, including Meta, Google, TikTok, and Snapchat, can proceed. The platforms are accused of deliberately designing addictive features that harm young users. The court rejected the companies' appeals, clarifying that Section 230 provides a legal defense but does not grant full immunity from such claims. Meta additionally faces a separate multistate trial concerning its data collection practices and platform design. The ruling follows a related decision by a New Mexico court addressing public nuisance concerns and youth safety.
