The article discusses the controversy surrounding social media companies like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube paying $3 million to a 19-year-old user, suggesting that social media was designed to addict kids. The article also notes that there are currently around 10,000 other cases in the works against social media. Tech journalist Jacob Ward compared this to the Big Tobacco settlement of the '90s, comparing social media to a causal connection between cancer and cigarettes. This is not the first time we've sued companies for being too addictive, with lawsuits against companies such as Starbucks, Doritos, Starbucks, and PepsiCo for their deliciousness. The author argues that this is America's responsibility for making good decisions and not just for consumers to sue companies that give us what they like.
