Social media companies must be held accountable when targeting children leads to direct harm. Marlo Greer highlights this issue in a recent video, which lawyers nationwide are now bringing to court on behalf of harmed children.
Hundreds of lawsuits nationwide challenge how media companies market their platforms to children. Roblox, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others face lawsuits over child injuries on their platforms.
In many cases, children suffer serious harm after becoming addicted to these online platforms. In other cases, platforms fail to protect child users from predatory adults who contact and abuse them.
Marlo raises the question – does this at all sound familiar? Which other major industry famously denied that its products were dangerous and highly addictive? An industry that fought fiercely to deny addiction while claiming user harm was never their fault? This industry lost its TV ad rights and was banned on airplanes, where tampering with bathroom smoke detectors brings severe penalties.
We are now at a stage with respect to addictive social media where the tides have changed. Public awareness is growing around how companies profit from children using addictive products. And parents and a number of state governments are fighting back.
