A jury in Los Angeles told the judge on Monday they are struggling to reach a decision. This is in a lawsuit about social media addiction. The lawsuit involves two companies. The jury did not say which company they could not agree on. The companies are Google and Meta. This information comes from Reuters.
Judge Carolyn B. Cold said the jury should try to reach a verdict if possible. She added that if they cannot agree, the trial will be held again with a new jury. The jury has been discussing the case for over a week. The lawsuit is about a young woman. She claims she became addicted to Google's YouTube and Meta's Instagram at a young age. The outcome of this case could affect many similar cases. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against tech companies. These were filed by parents and attorneys general.
