Meta seeks to overturn a verdict holding it responsible for a teen's depression in the United States

Meta seeks to overturn a landmark verdict holding it responsible for exacerbating a teen's depression, potentially costing millions. A jury found Meta and Google liable for contributing to a teenager's depression, ordering them to pay $6 million in damages. Meta is now requesting the verdict be nullified or a new trial be held. The company argues it is protected by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and that the teen's issues stemmed from content, not platform features. This case is part of a broader legal challenge against social media companies regarding addiction and mental health.
