This sure reads like "troubled young adults lashing out against large institutions because that's where the money is" rather than any legitimate cause for legal action.

I’m a bit confused. There doesn’t seem to be a legitimate case here? Addiction of any form certainly needs to be stopped and social media can be addictive but am I evil for thinking that parents should’ve been more involved here?

The cases really are:<p>1: I&#x27;m addicted to social media because my parents was lax on internet ground rules and I didn&#x27;t apply self-awareness.<p>2: I&#x27;m an uneducated parent because I don&#x27;t understand the speed of social manipulation or the social side of the internet.<p>And finally,<p>3: I&#x27;m a FAANG company and we know exactly how to exploit your lackfullness for money.
