They Designed Addiction Into Their Platforms. Your Family Deserves Accountability.
Social media companies knew their algorithms would hook children. They chose profits over your child's mental health. Keller Postman is fighting to hold them accountable. Find out if your family qualifies for a claim today.
Social Media Was Engineered to Exploit Your Child
Internal documents from major tech companies reveal what they knew all along: their platforms were designed to maximize screen time at any cost. Children and teens became the primary targets. The consequences have been devastating.
Anxiety and Depression
Endless algorithmic feeds fuel comparison, cyberbullying, and isolation. Studies link heavy social media use to a significant rise in anxiety and depression among young users.
Self-Harm and Suicidal Ideation
Platforms actively recommended harmful content to vulnerable teens. Internal research showed the companies knew their products were driving self-harm behaviors.
Eating Disorders
Algorithms pushed body-image content to children as young as 13. Researchers found that exposure to these feeds directly correlates with disordered eating.
Sleep Disruption
Addictive features like infinite scroll, autoplay, and notification bombardment were designed to keep kids engaged far past healthy limits, destroying sleep patterns.
Attention and Focus Issues
Short-form content and constant dopamine triggers rewire developing brains. Many children experience declining academic performance and inability to concentrate.
Social Isolation
Despite being called "social" media, these platforms replaced genuine human connection with curated, algorithm-driven content that deepens feelings of loneliness.
They Knew. They Profited. Now They Face Justice.
The evidence against social media companies continues to mount. Here is what has been uncovered:
-
Internal whistleblower documents revealed that company researchers found Instagram was "toxic for teenage girls" and worsened body image issues for 1 in 3 teens.
-
Congressional testimony confirmed that platforms deliberately designed features to keep children scrolling, knowing the mental health consequences.
-
Federal and state lawsuits from 41+ attorneys general accuse major platforms of deploying manipulative tactics aimed at young users.
-
Jury verdicts have confirmed that social media addiction is real and that platforms bear responsibility for the harm inflicted on children.
-
Peer-reviewed research from the U.S. Surgeon General warns that social media poses a "profound risk" to children's mental health.
