Our children deserved
protection.
What they got was an algorithm.
Social media companies spent billions engineering platforms designed to keep young, developing minds scrolling — longer, later, and against their own well-being. For too many individuals and families, that choice led to anxiety, depression, and lasting harm.
You are not alone, and you are not overreacting. Thousands of people across the country are now holding these platforms accountable. We want to help. A free, confidential case review costs you nothing.
Why Teens Are So Vulnerable
The teenage brain was never meant to handle this
The prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain responsible for impulse control, decision-making, and emotional regulation — does not fully develop until a person's mid-20s. Social media companies knew this.
They designed infinite scroll, autoplay, algorithmic recommendation, variable-reward notifications, and "like" mechanics specifically because these features exploit neurological vulnerabilities in developing minds. The same mechanisms that make slot machines addictive were engineered into apps used by children as young as 10.
When your child spent hours scrolling late into the night, it was not a lack of willpower. It was the predictable result of billion-dollar behavioral engineering targeting a brain that was not yet equipped to resist it.
You may qualify if:
- You or your child/teen began using Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, or YouTube before age 18
- Used the platform frequently, compulsively, or for extended daily periods
- Were later diagnosed with or exhibited anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or eating disorder symptoms
- There were noticeable significant changes in mood, school performance, sleep, and/or relationships
- Received mental health treatment, counseling, or hospitalization related to these issues
- You are the affected person, or you are a parent, guardian, or family member who is willing to submit information on behalf of the affected person
Every situation is unique. A free review helps determine whether your family's circumstances may fit current litigation.
"No amount of individual parental supervision can substitute for the safe technology that should have been built in from the start."
— U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy
The Evidence Is Clear
What the U.S. Surgeon General Found
95%
More than one-third report using social media "almost constantly" — a pattern linked to measurable psychological harm in peer-reviewed research.
3.5 hrs
This is above the threshold at which research consistently shows heightened risks for depression, anxiety, and poor mental health outcomes.
2x
Adolescents spending more than 3 hours per day on social media faced double the risk of poor mental health outcomes, including symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The Surgeon General's advisory also documents:
- Increased exposure to cyberbullying and harassment
- Body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors in adolescent girls
- Sleep disruption from late-night use
- Exposure to self-harm and pro-eating disorder content served by recommendation algorithms
- Low self-esteem and social comparison harms
Harm doesn't stop at 18
While much of the current litigation centers on minors, young adults and adults over 18 who have suffered documented mental health harm from social media use may also have legal options worth exploring.
Mental Health
Documented anxiety, depression, or other psychological injury linked to compulsive or coerced social media use, including harm from targeted algorithmic content.
Eating Disorders & Body Image Harm
Harm from chronic exposure to algorithmically amplified content promoting unrealistic body standards, disordered eating, or dangerous weight-loss behaviors.
Self-Harm
Adults who suffered serious psychological injury after prolonged exposure to self-harm, suicide glorification, or extremist content repeatedly served by recommendation algorithms.
Screen Addiction
Adults who can demonstrate that platform design features — infinite scroll, autoplay, variable reward loops — contributed to compulsive use and resulting personal harm.
