About the Social Media Harm to Minors litigation
School districts, states, and thousands of families have filed lawsuits alleging that major social media platforms — including Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube — deliberately engineered their products to maximize the time minors spend on them, using infinite scroll, algorithmic recommendations, and social validation loops.
Internal research made public in recent years allegedly showed that the companies knew their products harmed teen mental health, particularly for teenage girls, while publicly downplaying the risks.
If your child developed severe depression, an eating disorder, engaged in self-harm, or attempted or died by suicide, and heavy social media use was a significant factor, your family may qualify to file a claim. Case reviews are free and confidential.
