Tech 24

The law is finally catching up with social media. This week, a California jury found Meta and Google liable for addicting a child to their platforms. On Tuesday, the French Senate will vote to ban under-15s from social media, with other countries making similar plans. Is humanity saved? Or are things more complicated than that?

On this week's edition of Tech 24, Peter O'Brien discusses the latest moves to crack down on social media for young people, Meta and Google's historic defeat in court, and what the science actually says about risks to young people.
