Professor Mary Graw Leary of Catholic Law appeared on BBC News to discuss the groundbreaking social media addiction trial currently underway in Los Angeles. The trial, which targets tech giants Meta and YouTube, accuses them of creating "addiction machines" that have negatively impacted users' mental health. In his opening statement, attorney Mark Lanier argued that his client, identified as "K.G.M.," developed severe mental health issues due to her addiction to platforms like Instagram and YouTube. However, defense lawyers countered, claiming K.G.M.'s struggles were rooted in personal circumstances unrelated to their platforms. Professor Graw Leary provided expert insights on the legal and societal implications of the case, with her segment beginning at the 47-second mark of the interview.
