After reaching pre-trial confidential settlements with social media giants Meta Platforms Inc. and Snap Inc., Lanier Law Firm founder Mark Lanier is calling on social media companies to do more to protect their young usersfrom addictive behaviors and mental health damages. 

“Families shouldn’t have to go jury by jury to solve a problem this big,” Mr. Lanier said in a written statement. “What these teenagers need is a permanent fix, real design changes that protect kids, not case-by-case patches. Until that happens, we will keep trying these cases.”
