TikTok postigao nagodbu pred suđenje zbog optužbi za zavisnost i depresiju
Kompanija TikTok nagodila se danas sa tužiljom, identifikovanom kao K.G.M, koja tvrdi da je postala zavisna od društvenih mreža i da su aplikacije podstakle njenu depresiju i samoubilačke misli, objavio je Rojters.
TL;DR
- TikTok reached a settlement with a plaintiff, K.G.M., who claimed addiction to the social network led to depression and suicidal thoughts.
- The settlement was reached just a week before a trial was scheduled to start.
- The trial would have involved TikTok, YouTube, and Meta facing accusations about their platforms contributing to a youth mental health crisis.
- This would have been the first instance of these tech companies defending against product-related harm claims.
- A jury would have determined if the companies were negligent in creating products that harmed K.G.M.'s mental health and if app usage was a significant factor in her depression.
