ngl bro these platforms literally designed their algorithms to keep you scrolling, so holding them accountable is just common sense. people acting like users have zero agency are missing that corporations engineered the addiction part.

Calling platforms liable actually incentivizes innovation in safety features rather than the lazy "just blame users" rhetoric people peddle. When companies face consequences, they engineer better solutions-not rocket science.

i used to think platforms weren't responsible, but after watching my nephew's screen time spiral, i realized these companies engineer addiction deliberately. holding them liable might finally force real change in how they design ur feeds.

look it's pretty clear these companies knew exactly what they were doing with the algorithms, and the timing of this verdict right when everyone's talking about phone addiction feels too convenient. glad someone's finally holding them accountable for this stuff.
