A federal judge in California hinted Friday that Google, Meta, Snap and TikTok could very likely have to face allegations by consumers that the social media companies harmed young Americans’ mental health with addictive features built into their respective platforms — and that Big Tech’s signature liability shield, known as Section 230, may not be enough to deflect those claims.

Addressing lawyers for both the consumer plaintiffs as well as the tech companies on Friday, District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the US District Court for the Northern District of California said she was unpersuaded by arguments that either all of the claims should be thrown out, or none of them. She also expressed skepticism in response to claims by industry lawyers that tech companies have no legal obligation to ensure their platforms are safe for children.
