The Los Angeles Times, Law.com, and EdSurge Interview Joseph McNally About Landmark Ruling Against Instagram and YouTube in Social Media Addiction Lawsuit
The Los Angeles Times, Law.com, and EdSurge interviewed Joseph McNally, Director of Emerging Litigation, about the landmark decision in the Los Angeles Superior Court, where jurors found Instagram and YouTube liable for designing their platforms to addict young users.
This verdict could establish a precedent for thousands of other ongoing lawsuits across the country and may alter the way tech companies are held accountable for harm to children caused by their products.
McNally said to Law.com, “The emails were particularly compelling and powerful. I think in any case, when a plaintiff has internal emails showing the debate going on, that creates a real challenge for the defendants to explain why they didn’t take those concerns more seriously.”
