Extra: Addictive by Design? When Social Media Devastates A Family

Is social media addictive? That's the question at the heart of a trial underway right now in Los Angeles, where a woman who is now 20 years old is suing, claiming that social media is addictive and purposely so. Her case is serving as a bellwether to help decide what should happen with thousands of other similar lawsuits. Earlier this week, Fox News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal spoke to Maurine Molak, whose son committed suicide after intense cyberbullying through apps he couldn't stop using Molak explained how she thinks her son got addicted … and how that addiction changed his behavior. She also explained why she believes big tech companies are intentionally trying to get users hooked – no matter their age – and that attempts at parental controls and safety features for minors are not working. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Maurine Molak.
