Google and Meta denied new trial in youth social media addiction case, sources say

Google and Meta have been denied a new trial following a landmark verdict in a youth social media addiction case. The legal action was initiated by a woman who claimed she developed an addiction to Meta's Instagram and Google's YouTube during her youth. Both companies had previously sought a new trial to challenge the outcome of the lawsuit, but the request was rejected by the court, upholding the previous decision regarding the platforms' impact.
