Social Media Addiction Lawsuit

Legal Claims for Harm Caused by Social Media Addiction

Teens and young adults are particularly vulnerable to the extremely harmful effects of social media addiction, including depression, self-harm, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, and injury of suicide. Meta, Snapchat, and TikTok knowingly designed their platforms to be addictive, putting profits over the safety of their users. They also know that social media addiction is causing serious mental health issues, especially in its youngest, most impressionable users.

Social media companies don’t care about you or your children. They care about money. When taking on these giants, you’ll need an advocate with the resources and experience to match. Lawsuits have been filed against these social media giants focusing on how platforms are designed and marketed, including allegations that these companies:

Use addictive algorithms that exploit kids’ developing brains
Allow or promote harmful content (self-harm, eating disorders, sexual content, bullying, etc.)
Fail to provide adequate warnings to parents and young users
Ignore or downplay known risks to children and teens
Collect and use data from underage users despite stated age limits

These cases are not about blaming parents. They are about asking whether billion-dollar companies put profits over the safety and well-being of children.

If you or your child or teen have suffered harm because of an addiction to social media, now is the time to stand up and take action. Langston & Lott is helping victims fight back through social media addiction lawsuits. If your child used social media app(s) Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, or YouTube between the ages of 8-18 and suffered from body dysmorphia, eating disorders, mental health harm (depression, severe anxiety), suicidal ideations or attempts or other forms of physical self-harm, you may have the right to file a social media addiction lawsuit and hold the billion-dollar social media giants accountable.

There are strict time limits (statutes of limitation) on bringing claims, especially when minors are involved. These deadlines depend on the state and the specific facts of each case. If you suspect your child has been harmed by social media, the safest approach is to talk with an attorney as soon as possible so important deadlines are not missed.
