The litigation
What these claims allege
Internal company research disclosed through litigation and congressional testimony has been cited as evidence that platform operators studied the effect of their products on teenage users — particularly teenage girls — and continued to optimise for engagement anyway.
The claims are not about content posted by other users. They are product-liability claims: that infinite scroll, variable-reward notifications, algorithmic amplification, and appearance filters were designed features chosen with knowledge of their effect on developing brains.
Cases have been consolidated into coordinated federal and state proceedings. Families whose children required inpatient treatment, developed eating disorders, or engaged in self-harm are among those filing.

Client outcomes
People who almost didn’t call
“I had put it off for two years because I assumed a lawyer would cost money I did not have. The review took four minutes and I was on the phone with a firm that had handled my exact device the same afternoon.”
“What I needed was somebody to tell me plainly whether I had a case. They did that, in writing, without pressure, and without asking me for a card number at any point.”
“My daughter's situation was hard to talk about. The intake specialist was careful with her and the attorney they matched us with had already handled dozens of these claims.”
