A crisis by design

“Addictive and dangerous” as alleged by the Attorneys General complaint.

The coordinated litigation alleges that the major social media companies deliberately engineered their products to exploit the psychology and neurophysiology of children — endless algorithmic feeds, intermittent rewards, and design features built to maximize the time young users spend scrolling.

It further alleges the companies’ own internal research documented the harm to teenagers — research that was not shared with parents or the public.

Who we are investigating for

Young people who grew up inside these products — and were hurt by them.

Under about 23 years old

Generally, young people born in the late 1990s or 2000s — the first generation to pass through adolescence entirely on social media.

Heavy use before 18

Regular, significant use of Instagram™, TikTok™, Snapchat™, Facebook™, YouTube™ or other social media during childhood or the teenage years.

A serious harm followed

Social-media addiction, depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, self-harm, or suicidal ideation.
