How the Algorithms Drive Addiction

Lawsuits claim social media platforms use algorithms designed to maximize user engagement. These systems track clicks, likes, watch time, and scrolling behavior to deliver personalized content.

Design Features Under Investigation Include:

Infinite scrolling with no natural
stopping point
Auto-play videos and continuous
content feeds
Push notifications designed to re-
engage users
Promotion of emotionally charged content
Personalized content based on
behavioral tracking

For children and teens, these features can make it hard to stop using social media. Over time, heavy use may turn into compulsive behavior linked to anxiety, depression, and other serious mental health problems.

If social media addiction caused serious harm to your child, teen, or loved one, you may

have legal options.

How Social Media Keep Kids Scrolling

Lawsuits allege social media platforms are intentionally designed to maximize engagement and encourage prolonged use.

These systems track behavior such as clicks, watch time, and scrolling patterns to deliver highly personalized content that

keeps users engaged longer.

Design Features Under Investigation Include:

Infinite scrolling with no natural stopping point
Auto-play videos and continuous content feeds
Push notifications designed to pull users back
Promotion of emotionally charged content
Personalized content based on behavioral tracking

For children and teens, these design features can make it

extremely difficult to disengage. Over time, heavy and

repeated use have been linked to anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and other serious mental health harm.

If these design features contributed to serious harm to your child, teen, or loved one, you may have legal options.
