I'm Ed Donnelly, with an AP News Minute. A jury found both Mehta and YouTube liable in a first of its kind lawsuit, aiming to hold social media platforms responsible for harmed children using their services. The plaintiff, a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM, says her early use of social media addicted her to the technology and exacerbated her mental health struggles. Her lawyer, Mark Leneer, says they were not able to talk about Mehta and YouTube content. You will be held accountable for the future, regardless of whether the children are getting sent for a graphic picture, regardless of whether they're being sex-moitated, regardless of those types of issues, just because of the features alone, the drive addiction. Leneer was asked about damages. I'm a juror, so pretty smart about that. I go as to say, here's how much money needs to these people. And so, in line of that, here's how much you should have said. Both companies may appeal. I'm Ed Donnelly.
