Have you or your child struggled with mental-health challenges linked to social media use? You're not alone. Families across the country are facing the consequences of social media addiction, and many are now seeking legal recourse against the companies they allege are responsible.
Over 90% of U.S. teens use platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat, many spending an average of three or more hours a day immersed in these apps during the most formative years of their development.
The problem? Companies like Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Google (YouTube), Snap (Snapchat), and ByteDance (TikTok) allegedly designed their products to maximize engagement — employing complex algorithms that exploit human psychology. These platforms constantly update and modify features to keep young users glued to their screens, plaintiffs allege, often at the expense of their mental health.

Lawsuits allege that social media algorithms were intentionally designed to exploit these vulnerabilities, creating a cycle of dopamine-fueled highs and lows that can spiral into compulsive use.
Likes, comments, and notifications can trigger bursts of dopamine, but those feelings are often followed by a crash. Recommendation systems are engineered to exploit this cycle, encouraging users to return again and again. Over time, plaintiffs allege, this pattern can rewire a developing brain's reward system — making it increasingly difficult for young users to step away.
