Meta + YouTube found liable for designing addictive platforms. Jury said "malice, oppression, or fraud." $6M damages, 1,600 more cases coming. The fix isn't better regulation of broken incentives.

To invest to create an addiction with your product is kind of creepy.

I suspect the only true fix is denying the ‘misery harvesters’ the attention they so desperately need to survive. And this is done not by government, but by individuals—striving daily to avoid any contact with these platforms. It’s called a “feed” for a reason. Similar to food. Only in...
