Is Social Media Addiction Affecting Your Child? You May Qualify for Financial Compensation.
Social media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook (Meta), YouTube, and TikTok are under fire for targeting children and young adults during crucial stages of brain development. If your child has experienced mental health challenges linked to excessive social media use, your family may be entitled to compensation. Thousands of families are already taking action—don't wait to find out if you qualify.
The Growing Crisis: Social Media and Mental Health
Social media was designed to connect us, but research shows it's doing the opposite, especially for young people. The risks include:
- Eating Disorders
- Body Dysmorphia
- Low Self-Esteem
- Suicidal Thoughts or Actions
- Loneliness & Isolation
- Decreased Academic Performance
Teenagers and young adults are especially vulnerable. Their developing brains make them more prone to addiction, anxiety, and depression caused by constant comparisons, curated content, and addictive platform features like infinite scrolling.
Surgeon General's Warning
The U.S. Surgeon General has highlighted alarming statistics:
- Teens using social media more than 3 hours a day face twice the risk of depression and anxiety.
- 95% of teenagers report using social media, and one-third say they are online “almost constantly.”
If your child has suffered from any of these impacts, now is the time to act.
Holding Social Media Companies Accountable
Major platforms have been accused of intentionally designing addictive features to increase profits while disregarding the mental health of young users. Lawsuits claim these companies failed to:
- Protect young users from harmful or age-inappropriate content.
- Mitigate the risks of addictive algorithms.
- Provide adequate safeguards for children and teens.
