8:35Now PlayingWill Guyatt, LBC's Technology Correspondent and journalist Chris Stokel-Walker join Andrew Marr as a jury in the US has found Meta and Google liable for social media addiction in a landmark case.
A jury at the Los Angeles County Superior Court has delivered its verdict that the tech giants were negligent after a 20-year-old woman said her early use of social media made her addicted and her depression worse.
Snapchat and TikTok were also defendants in the trial - but both settled with the plaintiff before it began.
It is alleged by the plaintiffs that Meta's Instagram and Facebook, Google's YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat "rewired how our kids think, feel, and behave".
