What exactly is the case?

According to reports, a 20-year-old woman from Los Angeles has filed a lawsuit against Meta and Google with serious allegations. According to the young woman on these companies, social media ruined her childhood and mental health. She claims that social media addiction has ruined her life. Callie is the name of this young lady and she has revealed her pain to the world.

Callie said she started YouTube at the age of 6 and Instagram at the age of 9. These companies had no solid mechanism to control the entry of children at such a young age. This made her addicted to it. Callie said she was subjected to mobic screens from the time she woke up until late at night.

Due to excessive use of social media, she started thinking of self harming herself. She suffered from a mental illness called body dysmorphia. In this disease a person starts feeling insecure about his physical beauty. A person keeps finding faults in himself. She told the court that she had never had suicidal thoughts before she came across social media.

Callie says it has also caused her to completely cut off communication with her parents. Being engaged in mobile phones all day has negatively affected her education and family relationship. Callie says social media made her live in a virtual world.
