Original: EU: Social media companies face lawsuits over alleged mental health and safety harms to minors
Lawsuits are being brought against social media companies in the European Union over allegations that their platforms cause mental health and safety harms to children and teenagers. The cases form part of a growing legal push to hold tech firms accountable for the impact of their products on young users, and follow mounting regulatory scrutiny of child safety online in Europe and beyond.
Why now: New litigation against major social media companies over child safety has drawn wide attention as regulators and parents intensify pressure on tech firms.
