Jury finds Meta and Google made addictive products that harmed kids

A jury has found Meta and Google's YouTube liable for creating addictive products that harmed young people. The verdicts validate long-standing concerns from parents and child safety advocates and are being compared to the legal fallout that once hit the tobacco industry.

Separately, a U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit from Elon Musk's X, which had alleged that advertisers illegally boycotted the platform. The two cases are part of a broader reshaping of the legal landscape for major tech companies.
