“We want them to be held accountable for what they are doing and what is perpetuating a mental health crisis in the United States. Facebook has put its business model of profit-at-all-costs above the well-being of young people.”
The mother of a 14-year-old Castle Rock girl who became addicted to social media sued the parent company of Facebook and Instagram earlier this month on the grounds the company deliberately designed addictive, dangerous products and failed to warn users of the potential pitfalls.
The lawsuit relies on a largely untested legal argument that’s “way out on the frontier,” said Denver attorney Randy Barnhart. “All told, Meta’s algorithm optimizes for angry, divisive and polarizing content because it’ll increase its number of users and the time users stay on the platform per viewing session, which thereby increases its appeal to advertisers, thereby increasing its overall value and profitability,” reads the complaint in the Colorado case.
