Landmark judgments in the US have held social media giants Meta and Google responsible for significant damages due to the psychological harm inflicted on young users. This ruling is anticipated to trigger further legal action globally. Social media has become a central element of modern society, particularly among young people. Extensive engagement with platforms is linked to rising mental health issues. Studies show that young people globally spend nearly 4.5 hours daily on social media. Evidence suggests that algorithms are engineered to maximize engagement, similar to addictive behaviors. This exploitation of neural pathways leads to repeated interactions. Many young users are now recognizing the hidden costs of excessive digital exposure. Several countries have introduced legislation to regulate social media access for children. In India, there's growing momentum for regulatory measures. With nearly universal mobile internet access among 15-29 year olds and almost 500 million social media users, accountability seems inevitable. Lawsuits from parents, activists, or affected users are likely. The conversation on this issue is still evolving and is expected to intensify.
