Social Media Addicting Teens? Meta’s Zuckerberg Testifies in US Trial | Vantage With Palki Sharma

A major trial in the United States is examining whether social media platforms are designed to encourage compulsive use among young people. Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat are among the companies named in the case. A young woman alleges that prolonged use from childhood harmed her mental health. Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg testified, responding to questions about internal research and age verification policies. The case forms part of thousands of lawsuits over the impact of social media on children. Governments are also tightening rules. Australia has banned social media for under-16s, while several European countries and India are considering age-based restrictions on access.
