Social Media Addiction Lawsuit
Big tech companies are intentionally making products addictive.
Help for Victims of Social Media Addiction
Self harm, eating disorders, and suicide attempts are common in children with social media addiction. Social media platforms market themselves as safe spaces for kids but prioritize profit over children's mental and physical health.

How Social Media Creates Addiction
Social media platforms are designed to trigger dopamine, the brain's "feel-good" chemical, encouraging users to check their accounts repeatedly. This creates a cycle of addiction, particularly dangerous for children and teens, whose brains are more impressionable and lack full self-control until around age 21.
Around age 10, children's brains shift to seek social rewards, making them more drawn to social media for attention and connection. This biological vulnerability increases the risk of developing body image issues in teens.
In extreme cases, social media obsession can lead to eating disorders, depression, sleep deprivation, and even suicide in children and teens. Excessive social media use can lead to psychological issues, with addiction being the most harmful.
Increased Risk of Suicide in 12 Year Old Kids
Big tech companies like Meta have misrepresented the safety of products like Facebook and Instagram. 12 year old kids have seen an increased risk of suicide from 2007-2018.
Manipulated for maximum screen time, this algorithm increased the risk of depression, eating disorders, sleep disorders, hospitalization, sexual exploitation, and attempted suicide.
Social media fosters harmful comparisons, leading to dissatisfaction, social anxiety, and increased risk of cyberbullying, which can result in suicide.
Child suicide rates have rapidly increased in the last 10 years. If your child has suffered from social media addiction, we should talk. Hold social media companies accountable for harming children. Our attorneys are ready to help.
