Jury selection begins in Meta, Snap social media addiction case

Jury selection begins today in Los Angeles for a trial against Meta and Snap brought by two plaintiffs who claim the companies' platforms were designed to be addictive — the latest in a wave of cases focusing on social media's impact on young people's mental health .
The plaintiffs sued in 2023, alleging that endless scrolling, Snapstreaks and other features on social media platforms kept them hooked and harmed their mental health.
