Plaintiff Leadership Blames Social Media for “Mental Health Crisis” in Master Complaint

Plaintiff leaders in MDL 3047 directly accuse social media giants of intentionally targeting children with addictive algorithms to increase profits in the recently released Master Complaint. The 287-page document (included below) claims that the widespread use of addictive programs by children causes a “youth mental health crisis” and perpetuates the sexual exploitation of children.

The complaint alleges mismanagement and damages from children using Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube and names parent companies Meta, Snap, ByteDance and Google as defendants. The JPML consolidated the case during a September 2022 meeting and transferred the case to the United States District Court for the District of California Northern under Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
