A landmark trial in Los Angeles is examining whether Meta (the parent company of Facebook and Instagram) and YouTube (owned by Google) intentionally designed their platforms to be addictive for children and teens, causing long-term mental health harm. The lawsuit was brought by a now-20-year-old woman who alleges she was exposed to addictive design features as a child and that features like auto-scrolling got her addicted to the platforms ultimately leading to anxiety, depression, and body image issues. Do you find that various social media platforms have addictive components? John Miles, a human performance expert and best-selling author joined us to discuss this landmark case and dove into the topic of social media addiction.
