A jury in Los Angeles has expected to deliver a verdict at some point this week in a trial over social media addiction. As NPR's Bobby Allen reports, jurors have heard weeks of testimony about whether Instagram and YouTube were designed to hook young people and to keep them from spending more time on or to keep them rather spending more time on social media sites.
A jury of five men and seven women have been deliberating for more than a week and have indicated they may be close to a verdict. The case focused on a California woman who said she developed oppression, anxiety, and body image issues after compulsively using Instagram and YouTube as a young child. Lawyers for the woman say meta and Google built defective products that led to her becoming
addicted to social media and contributed to her mental health struggles. To accompany attorneys say social media platforms are being scapegoated for a complex mental health issues that have many root causes.
It's the first time the question of social media addiction has been before a jury and
the case is tied to 1600 other pending cases. The outcome could shape how those cases eventually settle. Bobby Allen and PR news and you're listening to NPR news.
