Great
That doesn't apply to Bluesky, of course.
These people have also had adverse effects on many adults
Finally ❗
That's really interesting. Will filing a lawsuit have any effect?
Bring it!

My husband is 65 and has spent thousands on Royal Match. Definitely addicted 🤑
Zuckerberg thinks Europe are being unfair to him.
Woo-hoo, buckle up shithead they're all coming for you now.
Sh$t...
Capitalism and militarism go hand in hand. Time to focus on real solutions at home instead of empire building. https://project2032.us?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=signalboost&utm_campaign=imperialism_military_industrial_pentagon
Just remember this. Millions of dollars are nothing but nickels and dimes to these monolithic corporations.
They will eat the fines and find another way to hook people.
Justly so.
Power to the People!
Daddy Trump about to try and bail out his donors.
Nice
Yes!
This should be fun to watch 😁
Be even more fun to join in.
I'll let those who are genuinely affected be the judge of that.
Agreed. I’m pre-internet generation, but I notice how it affects people. Yes, I use it, but I also read books, listen to records, walk in the park & don’t let it control how I feel. There’s an argument for “but parents”, but corporations need to be held accountable for what they know & ignore, too.
Intentionality might end up being front and center.
The 9th Circuit rejected Meta, Google, TikTok and other social media companies' bid to reverse a lower court’s ruling forcing them to face some 2,400 lawsuits over claims they designed their products to be addictive to young users reut.rs/3RVQ6Uf
Can people start suing tobacco and alcohol companies, too? I’m not against this, I’m just saying…
We are all about to be rich folks. Trump was right.
That's a shock isn't it? PEACE
Oh this is going to be fun to watch!!!!!
this is bullshit. This is one of those Class action suits. the people responsible for KIDS being addicted to Social Media is the PARENTS who do not supervise what they kids watch, or do on line. HOW can a social media company force someone to be addicted?
Criminal algorithms
Let's see if we can take some of their ill gotten gains. Money is all they care about so we'll sue it away.
This is kinda stupid
Nice to see someone is on the side of Kids in this Country for once.
And might I add this is why when you Vote for Judges that are competent in the Law and not some Republican Judge Trump Lackey you win
this is big!
is the ship finally coming about?
