pretty big lawsuit that could have huge kind of shockwaves could affect a lot of people

that could glom on to this so meta and youtube were found liable for a woman's social

media addiction in a $3 million trial.

I believe she's awarded $3 million by both.

So she gets $6 million.

She claimed she became dangerously obsessed with the apps at a young age

because they were deliberately built to be addictive using features like Infinite Scroll and Auto Play.

I think everybody knows that they're addictive. Yeah, I mean, everybody knows you're going to get,

if you spend too much time on social media, you're going to get brain rot and you're,

you're going to neglect other things in your life that you probably should be doing.

According to Pew Research, at least half of American teens use YouTube or Instagram daily.

Snapchat and TikTok were also defendants in the first of its kind trial, but both settled with the plaintiff before it began.

How addicted are you to your phone and or social media and scrolling?

I found myself last night or it might have been the night before.

So I'll usually take our dog for like the last walk.

And I'm usually doing it kind of late, like 9, 915, which is actually a sweet spot because our dog doesn't like other dogs and there's not many people out at that time. Dogs antisocial? He just growls at other dogs. I don't know. We got it at the pound at the adoption center and the sheet of paper. It was an abandoned dog. It said, great with kids, and it was all positive, but the one thing it said was it can get

antsy around other dogs.

Okay. You can understand that, especially if you can train it out, whatever, but if he's

especially a big dog across the street, it'll start growling and barking and getting, so

it's actually good to do it at night.

But anyway, I didn't bring my phone

and I found myself like every two minutes like almost feeling like I got to reach for my phone
