A federal appeals court ruled that social media companies like Meta, Snap, TikTok, YouTube, and Roblox cannot use Section 230 of the Communications Act to dismiss thousands of lawsuits alleging addiction among young users.

This decision lets the consolidated lawsuits from individuals, states, and school districts move forward. Previous trials have resulted in significant damages against Meta for addiction and misleading users about social media's impact on mental health.
