00:01A landmark court ruling in the US against two of the world's biggest tech firms could influence
00:06how social media is regulated and designed here at home in the years ahead. A Los Angeles jury
00:13awarded a young woman $6 million after finding Meta and Google responsible for harm linked to
00:20addictive platform features during her childhood use. Both companies strongly dispute the verdict
00:25and say they will appeal. Campaigners and regulators elsewhere are watching closely as debates continue
00:31about protecting children online. In the UK, discussions about stronger safeguards and possible
00:37limits for younger users are already underway and cases like this may shape what happens next.
