A California jury just decided that the tech giants behind Facebook and YouTube—Meta and Google—are legally responsible for the “addiction” of a 20-year-old woman to social media. They handed her $3 million for her supposed suffering. This is what happens when America lets feelings, and not facts, run the show.
Let’s get real: liberal elites have spent years turning our youth into helpless victims. Now, instead of holding individuals accountable, the courts are blaming the very platforms that Americans freely use. Never mind personal responsibility. A young woman claims she was “targeted” as a teenager by social media, spiraled into mental health issues, and that’s now supposedly the fault of tech companies, not her—or even her own parents? The left wants everyone to believe our children are powerless, incapable of making choices, and always in need of new, expensive government controls.
Of course, these “big tech” corporations, with their deep involvement in globalist causes and censorship of conservative speech, aren’t exactly innocent. But the real danger is the precedent just set: if this case stands, get ready for a tidal wave of lawsuits. The courts have now opened the floodgates for trial lawyers to blame platforms for the struggles of entire generations. What’s next—sue grocery stores for obesity? Sue video games every time a kid gets bored?
What’s even more hypocritical is the way left-wing lawyers and activists twist the science. There’s no proof that “social media addiction” is even a real, diagnosable disease. Now there’s a push to redesign platforms because “the platform itself” is supposedly to blame, not how people use it. Liberals will latch onto any excuse to demand more regulation, more bureaucracy, and more attacks on the free market—all in the name of “protecting the children.”
This ruling isn’t about helping kids, it’s about weaponizing the justice system to push a radical agenda. If Americans don’t wake up, Democrats and their activist judges will have the government policing your every digital move. How long before conservatives—even entire movements—are banned for being labeled “harmful” by the same globalist Big Tech and their leftist friends in government? When will we say enough is enough?
