Plaintiffs' attorney Mark Lanier speaks to journalists outside the Los Angeles Superior Court courthouse as the jury continues deliberations in a trial to determine whether social media companies deliberately designed their platforms to be addictive to children, in Los Angeles, on March 23, 2026. The jurors in a landmark social media trial signaled March 23 that they could not reach a consensus against one of the two defendants, Meta and YouTube. "The jury has difficulty coming to a consensus regarding one defendant, do you have any advice on how to move forward?" the jurors told Judge Carolyn Kuhl, according to a note she read out loud.
