Social Media Harm to Minors
Litigation alleging platforms were designed to addict young users — and harmed them.
Overview
Understanding Social Media Harm to Minors cases
Lawsuits across the country allege that major social media platforms — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and others — were deliberately engineered to maximize the time young users spend on them, using design features the companies knew could foster compulsive use in developing minds.
The litigation contends that this design contributed to serious harms in minors, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm, and other health consequences — and that the companies downplayed internal research about those risks.
These cases are deeply personal for families. If your child experienced serious harm after prolonged social media exposure, we will listen first, and then give you an honest assessment of whether the litigation may provide a path forward.
