For years, I, along with parents, educators, pediatricians, and whistleblowers from inside big tech, sounded the alarm. Social media is dangerous. It harms young people. It often leads to addiction, depression, eating disorders, sexual exploitation, and even suicide. The social media companies remained uncaring and bulletproof until now.
With this week's court ruling for the first time, a jury agreed that major social media platforms, especially YouTube and Meta, intentionally built in addictive features that could cause harm. Of course, this doesn't mean our children are out of danger. Look at it this way. Finally, someone is listening.
For years, Big Tobacco denied that their products were dangerous and intentionally manufactured to be habit-forming. Consider this week's Verdict Big Tech's Big Tobacco moment.

Chapter 2: How do social media platforms intentionally create addictive features?
And Barry's bag is like front and center.
Are you serious?
Chapter 3: What are the potential mental health impacts of social media on children?
Well, I guess it was the latest one. Of course it would be in there.
So I took a picture of that and I sent it to the PR person said, found it. There you go. Apple dropped some new air tags. Guess what they were calling it? AirTag 2? Yes, yes. You could now work in the marketing department at Apple. It tracks, they say, 50% farther. The speaker is 50% louder. And you can now use your Apple Watch to find things. It's still the same price, $100 for a four-pack.
So United Airlines flight from Detroit to Switzerland had to turn around mid-flight. Engine trouble? No. Medical emergency? Wrong again. What happened is someone dropped their laptop into the wall of the plane, and I'm not kidding. A passenger somehow managed to slip their laptop through a gap in the cabin, and it fell all the way down to the cargo hold.
And I know you might be thinking like, so what's the big deal? Just leave it there and grab it when you land. Lithium ion batteries. If that laptop gets damaged or crushed down there, it could overheat and catch fire at 40,000 feet. Nobody wants a battery fire on a plane. So the pilot turned around, landed in Newark.
Chapter 4: What parallels can be drawn between social media and Big Tobacco?
Maintenance crews had to fish it out before they could take off again. a three hour plus delay. Speaking of three, this is the third time United has diverted a flight for a lost laptop in recent months. They need those like little covers like we have in cars to make sure like nothing slips down into the abyss. Hey, if you love staying tech ahead, then you're going to love, love, love.
