A California jury on Wednesday found YouTube and Meta guilty of using design features that promoted social media addiction among minors.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had testified during the landmark trial, saying that Meta was not linked to mental health issues that plagued the plaintiff, who was awarded $3 million in compensatory damages, according to NBC News. The jury will next decide on punitive damages.
The lawyers for plaintiff K.G.M. said the verdict is “a historic moment” for children and families.
