Tech’s Biggest Players Face the Music

It’s about time. The world’s largest social media companies are finally facing the music in court. A landmark trial kicked off in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday, with plaintiffs accusing these tech behemoths of harming kids with their addictive social media platforms.

A Long Time Coming

The trial is just the beginning. Several more are set to take place this year, all seeking to hold these companies responsible for the harm they’ve allegedly caused to children who use their sites. And it’s not just the kids who are affected – it’s their parents, too, who are fed up with the way these platforms seem designed to keep users hooked.

So, what’s at stake? For starters, the reputations of these tech giants. If they’re found liable, it could mean big changes for the way they do business. And that’s something they won’t want to happen, given how much money is on the line.
