You've heard the headlines about kids and social media addiction, but this case isn't about what got posted. It's about how the platform itself was allegedly built. Jessica Travis and Rocky break down the landmark child safety case against Meta, where internal company documents reportedly reveal a stated goal of maximizing "teen time spent on platform."

If you're a parent, a teen, or just terminally online, you need to hear this one.
