By now we have all seen the story of the very clever manipulative woman who has taken Google and Meta to court blaming them for her addiction
As a child she was PERMITTED by a terrible parent to sit scrolling on social media for 16 hours per day
At a very young age
Social services should have removed her from the family home
Parents jailed
Where is all this going to stop
When will courts realise that not everyone suing someone deserves to be compensated
It makes my blood boil just a bit
What sort of parent can't read and understand that kids under 13 are not supposed to have a Facebook account
Don't blame the algorithm
Blame sh1tty parents who use the phone etc as a babysitter
Summary
If your kid has a social media account at a very young age and gets mental health issues as a result, it's your doing.
Not the social media platforms
What the hell happened.to common sense?
Do these parents hand their kids booze and cigs, let.them have sex ........

Phones are a babysitter.
More dangerous than a pedofile babysitting
Seems more profitable too

@Ineeddentures It's surely a very bad habit, but more profitable, as you say.

Oh Anna
I didn't mean profitable
But you know what
I think I meant more dangerous

Are you referring to the case where Facebook and YouTube were sued and Facebook had to pay 60% and YouTube had to pay 40% to whoever was suing them?

@Ineeddentures The lawsuit against YouTube and Meta awarded the lady $3 million in “compensatory damages, finding Meta 70% responsible for harm caused to the now 20-year-old plaintiff, and YouTube responsible for 30%”. Seems like this is the one you’re referring to.

I'm referring to the lady who blamed the social media platforms.for all sorts of issues
Instead of blaming her useless.parents who allowed her from the age of 6 to have social media
Bad parenting
And America has gone nuts by making this about anything else

That's the one
The harm was caused by piss poor parenting allowing a child of 6 years old to be on Facebook or YouTube
Would you consider the parent to be at fault or not?

There will always be an 'evil' that parents let occupy their children's attention so that they do not need to interact.
When we think about how long a child is in our care, and how much they soak up from us and our actions, we should act much more responsibly.

@Ineeddentures From the court's perspective, that would be another case to involve the parents-crazy.

Methinks there will now be " millions" of 20 year old men and women making up the same stories now in an attempt to get some easy money
That's why the courts in this case should have told the girl to sue her parents

I think my problem with all of this is that the court did not criticise the parents of the woman at all.
Someone should have just come out and said
It's not the platforms fault she is like she is,
She shouldn't have been on social media at 6 years old in the first place

@ineeddentures While I heartily concur with your analysis I am also gloating over big companies being humbled.

@Ineeddentures Fake disability is a great wee earner. At the primary school where I sat uncomfortably on the Board of Governors there was suddenly a welter of kids with peanut allergies. Someone caught on to the fact that such an affliction attracted money which was payable even while waiting for a diagnosis. So parents told the doctor that wee Billy took a rash and got wheezy upon eating peanuts. The doctor was required to refer the child to a specialist who would take months to conclude that there was no allergy, meanwhile the parents were harvesting disability payments because the child had to be protected from peanuts till the diagnosis. Parents were also livid when the big doctor declared that their kids were not autistic, so depriving them of their “rightful money”. To all this the only valid response must surely be forced sterilisation to put an end to the silliness. I stand ready with the garden secateurs.

Me too
But now I wonder just how many will see this as a get rich quick scheme
And how our doctors surgeries will be full of 16 year olds who have been molested my social media for 12 or 13 years with parents blaming social media platforms
I remember the ADHD / Autism outbreak, couldn't get a doctor's appointment for love nor money - kids having been trained to pull the wool.over.doctors.eyes.for.a.diagnosis worth a out £300 per month per child

I could not have said all that any differently
Benefit cheats, it needs to stop and these charlatans need to pay the money back
They can tell the kids not to do the autism act any more and let the kids have a normal life.
I'm a bit of an annoyance to some of these people
A woman with 3 " autistic kids"' who received Adult Disability Payment as well was in the park with her kids
Kids running about normal, no thick rimmed glasses or harnesses on, and her walking sticks were gone and she was running about also
I pointed out a guy with his phone out and told her it was " the social" filming her
She said thanks
Started using the sticks, glasses and harnesses back on the kids
What is the world coming to?

@Ineeddentures I see Austria is banning, or planning to ban, kids under 14 from having social media accounts. There needs to be some regulations

Huge can of worms indeed
Common sense says the platforms must win the appeal
But make changes to the way that they operate and I think that registration for accounts at these places is going to have to be made for detailed like proper names, proof of age, photo id, etc etc

Some parents abdicate responsibility and blame the platforms instead.
Your right accountability start at home.

Thanks , well they will never put their hands up and take responsibility
But I think this particular case was a set up, I think the courts were corrupted, probably from a directive from Trump,

It's gone down the toilet Stacey.
This girl was allowed to do as she pleased with no parental supervision at all
Yet she blames the social media platforms for her parents shortcomings
Or at least thos is what she claims
I think she is a money grabbing lying no good cheat and even worse, the courts in a bid to appease her seem to have taken her side
The problem is , this will open the floodgates for lawsuits against all manners of platforms

It is nuts. I could never understand how parents don't limit social media/online time for their kids.

Because social media is a babysitter
Kids parents who allow this should be prosecuted
If they gave the kid booze or cigs they would be

Well maybe isn't so stupid after all Dianne
Helluva lot of money to get because your parents were not fit to look after you properly and you sue a social media platform or two
I don't know why, but this stinks of interference at a higher level and maybe even personal vendetta against his nibs who owns meta......
How many of this type of claim would it take to bring Facebook down?
