Affecting health'; A 24-year-old man filed a case against social media platforms

 

A young Canadian has filed a complaint against major social media platforms. The young man has filed a complaint against major social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. The complaint alleges that their designs are addictive and affect users' mental health and creativity. The complainant is a 24-year-old from Montrea. According to the complaint, he has been using apps like TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram and Facebook since 2015. According to the complaint, the use of these has seriously affected the development of his abilities, activities and physical and mental health.

The plaintiff points out that this is because the apps are addictive and are designed to increase dopamine levels in humans and keep people engaged with the apps for hours. The complainant is being provided legal support by the law firm Lambert Advocates. According to a spokesperson for the firm providing legal support to the plaintiffs, the design of social media platforms can make people engage with the apps for longer periods of time. It is estimated that by 2024, the amount of time humans will spend on social media will be 500 million years. "This is proof that social media companies must prioritize the safety and well-being of their customers," the spokesperson said.

Advocates argue that the current design of social media applications exploits consumers' psychological vulnerabilities. He said that this will affect their daily life and a case has been filed seeking compensation and action against it. There are currently several lawsuits against social media companies in Canada. This case is a continuation of that.
