The evidence
In 2023 the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory warning that social media can present a profound risk of harm to the mental health of children and adolescents. Researchers have linked heavy use to rising rates of anxiety, depression, and self-harm among young people.
Internal company documents disclosed in litigation and news reporting allege that these platforms studied the harm to young users, including teenage girls, and chose engagement over safety. Families are now using the courts to hold them accountable.
Where things stand
Hundreds of lawsuits against the major social media companies have been consolidated before one federal court so they can be managed efficiently. These cases are being actively litigated on behalf of families and individuals across the country.
Important: these are individual lawsuits, not a class action. Each family pursues its own claim based on its own circumstances. Acting now helps preserve your ability to seek compensation, and reviewing your case costs you nothing.
