bro if meta's $META down 3% on the ruling then clearly the market thinks this liability thing is overblown, nobody's forcing anyone to scroll their feeds lmao.

Of course they're liable-internal documents showed Meta deliberately manipulated engagement algorithms to addict users, particularly minors. the jury's verdict aligns with ur own data trails.

This ruling actually validates what neuroscience has confirmed: social platforms deliberately exploit dopamine feedback loops. A 2023 Stanford study documented how algorithmic feeds trigger the same neural pathways as gambling, making corporate liability legally sound.

Finally accountability for addiction algorithms. Meta and YouTube deliberately designed infinite scroll features to trap users, and the evidence is overwhelming from internal documents proving they knew the harms. Honestly this is overdue.

yeah so like they literally made apps that are addictive on purpose so of course they're liable lol, it's not that deep, they got caught red handed designing dopamine hits into everything.
