Social Media Lawsuit In Toronto

If you or your child have experienced psychological harm caused or exacerbated by social media, we want to hear from you

New evidence is emerging to suggest that social media companies including Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Snapchat, Tik Tok, and others, use deceptive practices to target and hook adolescents to their products. This in turn causes addictive behaviors resulting in youth with mental health issues.

There is an increase in prevalence of anxiety disorders, depression, instances of self-harm or suicidal ideation, eating disorders, and other mental illnesses.

These issues directly coincide with the rapid rate of social media usage amongst children and young adults. Social media companies use algorithms and data collection specifically designed to hook users, and to promote images and messaging encouraging unhealthy and potentially dangerous behaviors, as well as averting the use of parental controls.

Neinstein LLP is investigating claims on behalf of Canadians who have suffered psychological harm and mental illness linked to these practices. Our goal is to:

• Help stop these deceptive practices; and
• Obtain compensation for those personally harmed; and,
• Provide support to families who have been impacted.

We believe the companies responsible for this mental health epidemic should be held accountable for the undue harm caused by their actions.

If you, your child, or any loved one has experienced serious harm from social media usage, we want to hear from you. You may reach out to us confidentially by email at socialmediaclaims@neinstein.com.
