... harmful by design ...

False.

There's nothing harmful about social media.

Not anymore than the radio, television or video games.

You know how many studies were published about children spending 8-12 hours a day in front of the television? Ample.

The difference being, when you left your house you couldn't take your television with you.

Personal responsibility is too much for some people.

So they seek to punish everyone for their lack of willpower.

You want to quit social media? Delete your apps and do what's necessary to break your addiction.

Social Media Addiction

Social media addiction is a behavioral addiction that is defined by being overly concerned about social media, driven by an uncontrollable urge to log on to or use social media, and devoting so much time and effort to social media that it impairs other important life areas.

One thing I've noticed about Meta, when I don't visit for a while, I seem to get a security-oriented password-reset email that would require me to visit the site to resolve.

That's in your user setting.

I haven't used Facebook since 2020, still have an active account, have never received a single email from it.

(Very rarely, less than a handful of times per year, I'll look up someone's name on Facebook to see if I know them.)

This is like suing alcohol manufacturers because your son is an alcoholic.

I don't see how it passes.

You can't find the "don't annoy me" option?

They get more clever with where they hide it.

It's been a while since I last checked.

But there are options somewhere to disable Facebook from sending you any emails or notifications.

I would ask where the parents are and why they allow their kids to drink alcohol.

Weird.

Perhaps you're the subject of unwanted attention and the platform is attempting to safeguard your account.

It has to be due to your settings.

I don't receive such notifications.

Ever.

If a company created a damaging product ... marketed it to minors, and ... altered the product to be more addictive to minors, they would rightfully be liable for some of the impact

People get paid to market products to an audience. They make commercials and advertisements. If they're too successful at their jobs, they get bonuses and raises. Should there be penalties?

Manufacturing companies like General Mills adds unhealthy amounts of sugar to their breakfast cereals and specifically target kids. Could be blamed for childhood obesity and possibly diabetes. Are they libel for any impact?

Television has changed how society works. People stay in more sitting in front of them all day long. It's spreading propaganda for sources like Fox News. Are they libel?
