After Babel - The Case Against Social Media: Seven Lines of Evidence
Once again, After Babel has published an exceptional article discussing the extremely negative impacts social media has on our younger generations. In a recent article, it outlines the seven lines of evidence that will help decide thousands of future court cases.
“Two weeks ago, on March 25, a jury in Los Angeles found Meta and Google liable in a landmark case. The jurors determined that the parent companies of Instagram and YouTube had acted with “malice, oppression, or fraud,” addicting and harming the young plaintiff, known as KGM.
Just one day prior, a jury in New Mexico found Meta liable for “misleading consumers about the safety of its platforms and endangering children.”
Many kinds of evidence were presented to the juries, from internal documents and research done by the companies themselves to testimony from experts and former employees. The evidence revealed that the companies had intentionally designed their products in ways they knew would harm children.”
