Case overview
A Los Angeles jury awarded $6 million against Meta and YouTube in March 2026 for addicting a minor user, with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl upholding the verdict and $3 million in punitive damages on June 10, 2026. The case is the first bellwether in California state court JCCP 5255, while federal MDL 3047 (In re: Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation) before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in the Northern District of California contains approximately 2,664 actions including personal injury and school-district claims. A June 2026 Kentucky school district bellwether settled for a reported $27 million combined before trial.
Causation Theory
Plaintiffs allege platform features function as product defects exploiting adolescent neurobiology: algorithmic feeds, infinite scroll, autoplay, push notifications, like counts, and variable-reward feedback loops modeled on slot-machine mechanics. Meta's internal research—the "Facebook Files" disclosed by whistleblower Frances Haugen—documented that 32% of teen girls with body-image issues reported Instagram made them feel worse, 17% said it worsened eating disorders, and 13.5% reported worsened suicidal thoughts. The theory holds that engagement-maximizing design prolongs use beyond user intent, causing measurable harms including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicide.
Case Management Orders
Litigation status
MDL-3047 is in active bellwether phase with mixed results reshaping settlement posture. The California state-coordinated proceeding (JCCP 5255) produced the first jury verdict — $6M against Meta and Google in March 2026 — but the second bellwether (R.K.C.) collapsed when plaintiff dismissed Meta claims with no payment after Google, TikTok, and Snap settled out. Federal MDL remains before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in N.D. Cal.; first federal school-district bellwether (Breathitt County) settled pre-trial for ~$27M. Tennessee AG trial opened July 27, 2026 in Nashville; 33-state AG bench trial before Judge Gonzalez Rogers scheduled August 5, 2026 in Oakland.

MDL 3047 (N.D. Cal.) consolidates claims from all 50 states: 2,664 individual PI cases, roughly 800 school-district suits, 41 state AG actions. Platform design allegations span Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Google/YouTube, Snap, TikTok/ByteDance. First jury verdict ($6M) and first school-district settlement (Kentucky, confidential) establish 2026 valuation framework for remaining 600+ school-district plaintiffs and individual tracks.
MDL 3047 hub court (N.D. Cal., Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers) with 2,664 individual PI cases and roughly 800 school-district suits centralized. Los Angeles Superior Court jury returned $6 million verdict in KGM v. Meta Platforms Inc. and YouTube LLC on March 25, 2026 — first state-court social-media-addiction jury verdict in U.S. ($3M compensatory, $3M punitive). California state court separately holds 3,300+ individual addiction-harm cases.
Breathitt County School District (rural Eastern Kentucky) served as first MDL 3047 school-district bellwether; Snap, YouTube/Google, and TikTok/ByteDance settled confidentially May 15, 2026. Meta proceeded to scheduled trial June 12, 2026 before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in N.D. Cal.
Nevada Supreme Court upheld personal jurisdiction over TikTok in TikTok, Inc. v. Dist. Ct., No. 89709, 141 Nev., Advance Opinion 51 (Nov. 6, 2025). Court noted 49% of Nevadans were active TikTok users as of mid-2022; TikTok targeted Nevada users through Las Vegas and Reno billboards, elementary school PTA grants, and virtual PTA events.
Massachusetts AG Andrea Joy Campbell pursues separate state-court action parallel to MDL 3047 with similar platform design claims, proceeding outside federal consolidation.
State-court jury found Meta liable under Unfair Practices Act with $375 million penalty award at $5,000 per violation maximum rate — separate from MDL 3047 proceedings.
Tucson Unified School District designated next MDL 3047 school-district bellwether trial, scheduled January 2027 before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
State attorneys general parallel action against Meta specifically for platform design choices harming youth, filed October 2023; trial scheduled August 2026. Massachusetts maintains separate state-court track.

Social Media Harm remains late-stage / bellwethers scheduled with 1730 current signals in the accepted feed.
Overview
MDL-3047 is in active bellwether phase with mixed results reshaping settlement posture. The California state-coordinated proceeding (JCCP 5255) produced the first jury verdict — $6M against Meta and Google in March 2026 — but the second bellwether (R.K.C.) collapsed when plaintiff dismissed Meta claims with no payment after Google, TikTok, and Snap settled out. Federal MDL remains before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in N.D. Cal.; first federal school-district bellwether (Breathitt County) settled pre-trial for ~$27M. Tennessee AG trial opened July 27, 2026 in Nashville; 33-state AG bench trial before Judge Gonzalez Rogers scheduled August 5, 2026 in Oakland.
