4:08Now PlayingNBC News legal analyst Misty Marris joins NBC News Now to break down the landmark social media addiction trial unfolding in Los Angeles. A 20-year-old plaintiff and her family allege that Meta and YouTube created addictive platforms that harmed her mental health.
Misty explains the key legal battle over causation — whether the platforms’ design and algorithms directly caused harm — and why the defense is focused on breaking that legal chain. She also weighs in on YouTube’s argument that it functions more like an entertainment platform than traditional social media, the role of third-party content protections, and how upcoming testimony — including from Instagram leadership — could impact the jury.
With parents across the country watching closely, this case could shape the future of platform liability and tech accountability.
