Background

Concerns are mounting about how daily social media use is affecting a generation.

Many individuals and families have raised concerns about the effect Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube have had on mental health and emotional wellbeing — especially where use began at a young age and became a major part of daily life. The feeds on these platforms are tuned by recommendation algorithms that learn what holds a user's attention and keep serving more of it: endless scroll, autoplay video, push notifications timed for re-engagement, and personalized content loops that can be difficult for a developing brain to step away from.

Internal company research, much of it made public in 2021 by former Meta employee Frances Haugen, has linked heavy use of these platforms to worsened body image, depression, and suicidal ideation in young users. Hundreds of individuals and families have since filed claims, and the cases have been consolidated in the federal Social Media Adolescent Addiction MDL in the Northern District of California, with the first bellwether trials expected to begin in 2026. State attorneys general and school districts have joined the litigation.

If a social media platform's design contributed to a serious mental-health crisis in you or someone you love, the law provides a path to accountability.

Recoverable Damages

What compensation may be available.

Damages vary by case, and every individual's and family's situation is different. Common categories of damages in social media harm matters include:

In certain cases, social media platforms and other parties may be held accountable for addictive product design targeting young users, age-verification failures, inadequate parental controls, failure to warn of known harms, or concealment of internal research showing serious mental-health impact. Where the conduct is especially egregious, punitive damages may also be available.
