For the first time, social media companies will face a trial by jury. The jury will decide whether specific content on the platforms was harmful. Instead, they'll decide whether social media companies were negligent when they created and tweaked their products to encourage people to spend more time on them. If the jurors decide the companies were negligent when creating their products, they'll then also need to decide whether that negligence led to the significant harm of a young person. The plaintiffs allege that Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat 'have rewired how our kids think, feel, and behave', according to the class action master complaint.
