Four US families, represented by the Social Media Victims Law Center, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Meta, TikTok, Snap, and Google. The suit alleges that these companies knowingly created addictive and dangerous platforms that contributed to the deaths of four children between July 2024 and September 2025. The lawsuit claims the companies exploited psychological vulnerabilities of minors to increase engagement, leading to issues like depression and suicidal ideation, and that they concealed evidence of harm from their own researchers.
