Court rules Meta and YouTube liable for harming children, praised by grieving parents.

A Connecticut mother whose 11-year-old daughter died by suicide praised a California court ruling that found Meta and YouTube liable for harming children. John DeMay, whose son died by suicide after falling victim to online sextortion, also praised the decision, calling it a major victory for child safety. The ruling marks the first time a jury has held major tech companies accountable for their platforms' design.
