Social redes, in the banquillo of the accused

Applicants include teenagers suffering from anxiety and depression and families of young people who have committed suicide.

Abogados who filed these complaints say the big tech companies They create addictive products specifically to make more money.

They argue that, like cigar companies in the 1990s with the loss of juice presented by cancer patients, this technology hides internal facts that prove them wrong.

This legal avalanche in the United States comes just two months after Australia banned social media for under-16s. Other countries, including France and Denmark, are studying similar laws.

Mientras tanto, en Estados Unidos, President Donald Trump it worked with technology and eliminated the regulations that tried to limit it.

Essentially, Trump gave a blank check to social media spread what they wanted.

Therefore, the battle of people who want to fight against misinformation and admiration in the courts has gone to the courts.

On January 29, jury selection began in Los Angeles for the most famous case of more than 3,000 claims filed against rednecks in California alone. There are thousands of other popular requests in the rest of the country.

The Los Angeles app was initiated by an 18-year-old identified as KGM, who created a YouTube account last year, an Instagram account the following year, and once on Snapchat.

Their experts say there are internal technology documents that show these companies know they are creating innovative products.

You don’t need to be an expert to tell you that there is a serious problem of technological addiction: just go to any restaurant and see young people sitting speechless in front of their mobile phones.

There are many studies that link excessive use of red lights to anxiety and depression.

Jonathan Haidtprofessor of social psychology at New York University and bestselling author Nervous generationI said to myself in the interview that red mainly refers to little girls.

If you were an insecure teenager and you were alone I like it to your Instagram photo, it makes you depressed. Yes, yes, your companions are making fun of you, it’s very bad, I explained.

Abogados Los Angeles claimants focus on everything to make it happen technologies will program their algorithms to cause additionand we hope that these juicios are bound to make substantial changes.

For example, reds like TikTok and Instagram could limit the endless shifting of posts. For example, they could cut service to half an hour when someone spent too much time connected, abogados say.

What does technology say in your defense?

They argue that there is no reliable scientific evidence to support that red people cause anger and argue that attempts to regulate content are against free speech.

Now the Reds have been able to avoid regulation in the United States by learning from the 1996 law known as Section 230.

Esa ley says que technologies are not responsible for the content they disseminatein the same way that the courier is not responsible for the content of the documents he transports. After all, they are simple transmitters.

My opinion?

Lights may have been a simple content transfer for three decades, but today they are mostly the main, if not the only, means of massive distribution.

They must bear some responsibility for their methods and content, as well as for the purchase. Justice will have the last word.
