Case overview

What is the Social Media settlement about?

For more than ten years, social media platforms have allegedly been locked in a "race to the bottom" to capture young people's attention. Legal complaints claim these companies didn't simply build apps, they built machines designed to keep youth hooked, regardless of the consequences.

Who May Be Eligible?

You may qualify to file a claim if, at the time you submit your case, you are 19 years old or younger, used TikTok or Instagram on or before June 2023, and experienced negative side effects as a result.

What Could I Receive?

There's no set payout amount. If you're eligible and file a claim, any compensation depends on the specifics of your individual case, including the facts involved, the evidence you provide, applicable laws, and how the matter is resolved through arbitration or settlement.
