Plaintiff in Social-Media Addiction Lawsuit Testifies at Trial

The plaintiff in a landmark trial over whether the design of social-media apps can foster addiction in children told a jury that using YouTube and Instagram had contributed to her social isolation and mental health issues, including anxiety, body dysmorphia and depression. The 20-year-old woman, described in court as Kaley G.M., took the witness stand after nearly three weeks of testimony in the civil case.
