Relatives hold photos of their loved ones outside a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday, March 25, after a jury found Meta and YouTube liable on all counts in a landmark case that accused the tech giants of intentionally addicting a young woman and injuring her mental health. Meta and YouTube were negligent in the design of their platforms, knew their design was dangerous, failed to warn of those risks and caused substantial harm to the plaintiff, the jury found. That woman was in the courtroom to hear the decision, as were parents of other teens who they say were harmed by social media. Meta and YouTube, who had denied the lawsuit’s claims and contested the idea that their platforms could be addictive, said they planned to appeal the verdict. Frederic J. Brown/AFP/Getty Images
