Child Social Media Lawsuit Memphis

A Memphis Child Social Media Lawyer for Your Case

If you’ve heard anything on the child social media lawsuit Memphis has been buzzing about, you may have some questions.

Our Memphis social media lawsuit has been getting a lot of press and a lot of interest from families worried about their own child’s mental health. Here’s what you need to know and how to get involved.

Social Media Companies Facebook and Snapchat Have Hurt Children

Social media comes with all sorts of problems for children. Our research, Congressional testimony, and the companies’ own documents back this up.

The major social media companies started by creating systems addictive for kids and teens. Most of us know what it’s like to get drawn in by internet rabbit holes. We look down at our phones to check the time, and in what feels like a few seconds we look back up and have lost minutes or even hours.

It’s much worse for children, whose brains haven’t fully developed yet.

Armed with this addictive technology, the companies then pushed all sorts of horrific content at our kids, including:

• Videos that encourage eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia
• Messages and private interactions from predators and exploitative channels
• Glorification of violence, suicide, and self-harm
• and more

And as if that wasn’t enough, they also pushed content on how to set up fake accounts and purposefully get around parental controls. Furthermore, they didn’t properly warn parents about all these risks.

Our Memphis social media lawsuit addresses these harms.

Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat All Knew the Risks

When all of this abuse became public, none of it surprised Meta (which makes Facebook and Instagram) or the people behind Snapchat. According to witness testimony and hundreds of internal documents, all of these platforms were well aware their sites had a negative impact on children, and especially teens and young girls.

They knew children with suicidal thoughts blamed Instagram for their depression. In addition, executives understood their products led to severe and even fatal eating disorders in children. They knew young minors–far younger than their policies claim to allow–were getting accounts and accessing all this material.

And in response, they did nothing.

The apps, desperate for children’s attention, never addressed their own addictive properties. By keeping our kids obsessed with this harmful content, they harnessed their data and sold ads. They make a lot of money on these children, whether now or when they’re just a bit older. And whatever data they can get now will lead to big profits down the road.

So it’s no surprise they pushed them toward extreme content about their bodies and self-worth. However, that’s exactly the kind of material that hooks vulnerable children and leads to catastrophic mental health problems.
