These judgments come at a time when European digital policy is under <a href=»https://www.politico.eu/article/the-eu-is-in-a-political-pressure-cooker-over-its-online-rules/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>geopolitical pressure</a> and, at the same time, social media bans for children and adolescents are being discussed in <a href=»https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyv70de9exo» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>several countries</a>, including <a href=»https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/so-schnell-koennte-social-media-verbot-kommen-100.html» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Germany</a>. These rulings therefore have a signalling effect on Europe, and <a href=»https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/26/social-media-addiction-trial-verdict-rights-groups» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>initial reactions</a> have already placed great <a href=»https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/03/landmark-verdict-against-meta-and-google/686536/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>hope</a> in them. Human rights organisations <a href=»https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/03/landmark-youtube-and-meta-verdict-must-lead-to-more-social-media-accountability/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>celebrated</a> them as a “<a href=»https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/26/social-media-addiction-trial-verdict-rights-groups» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>watershed</a>†for big tech accountability. The rulings were based on consumer protection law and negligence (tort law) and did not address potential violations of constitutional rights. Nonetheless, they could arguably be a potential driver for human rights litigation.</p>
<h2>The Judgments in New Mexico and Los Angeles</h2>
<p>On 24 March 2026, the First Judicial District Court of New Mexico <a href=»https://nmdoj.gov/press-release/new-mexico-department-of-justice-wins-landmark-verdict-against-meta/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>ordered</a> Meta to pay a penalty of $375 million for violating consumer protection law on Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp in the case <em>State of New Mexico v. Meta Platforms, Inc</em>. The jury found thousands of violations of consumer protection laws regarding the treatment of children on the company's social media platforms.</p>
<p>Just one day later, the jury of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County <a href=»https://www.courthousenews.com/meta-and-google-hit-with-6-million-verdict-for-social-media-harms-to-young-woman/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>found</a><em>Â </em>Meta (Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp) and Google (YouTube) liable for negligence and defective design on their platforms in the case <em>K.G.M. v. Meta Platforms, Inc. et al</em>. A 20-years old women sued both companies, alleging that they made her addictive to their products thereby caused her serious psychological harm. The woman began using the platforms as a child and <a href=»https://www.courthousenews.com/plaintiff-testifies-in-landmark-social-media-addiction-trial/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>attributes</a> her depression, body dysmorphia and anxiety to them. The companies <a href=»https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/03/landmark-verdict-against-meta-and-google/686536/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>argued</a> that the plaintiff's condition was caused by her personal social and familial circumstances and that there was no proof that she was actually addicted to the platforms.</p>
<p>This argument, however, did not convince the jury. The jury concluded that both companies acted negligently regarding the design and operation of their platforms, marking a <a href=»https://verfassungsblog.de/tiktok-design-eu/» data-wpel-link=»internal»>shift from content to design</a> in their consideration. They awarded the plaintiff $6 million in compensation (a combination of compensatory and punitive damages), with Meta bearing 70 %.</p>
<p>Meta and Google <a href=»https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c86e3eglv2go» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>will appeal</a> the judgments, but they could set a precedent, as over a thousand similar lawsuits <a href=»https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/26/tech/social-media-trial-outcome-tech-giants» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>are pending</a>.</p>
<h2>A Wake-up call for human rights litigation?</h2>
<p>This latest U.S. social media litigation focused on consumer protection law and on tort law (product liability and negligence). Both judgments appear, at first glance, to have nothing to do with human rights. Yet, they constitute a first step towards the legal recognition of the negative mental effects of social media and might therefore also have implications for human rights litigation.</p>
<p>The human rights protection of the mind is still rather underdeveloped in case law and legal scholarship. There even appears to be a certain reluctance to conceptualise psychological harm in legal terms and to recognise negative mental effects as a violation of human rights (see <a href=»https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11572-012-9172-y» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Bublitz/Merkel</a>). Against this background, there have been even calls for introducing new human rights to protect the mind (so-called <a href=»https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12152-022-09511-0″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>neurorights</a>). Yet, even without new rights, there is a rich legal stock that <a href=»https://verfassungsblog.de/technology-and-law-going-mental/» data-wpel-link=»internal»>could be activated</a>.</p>
<p>There is, first of all, the <em>right to mental integrity</em> enshrined in Article 8 <a href=»https://www.coe.int/en/web/conventions/full-list?module=treaty-detail&;treatynum=005″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>ECHR</a> (cf. <a href=»https://ks.echr.coe.int/web/echr-ks/article-8″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>ECtHR Guide</a>) and arguably Article 17 <a href=»https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/international-covenant-civil-and-political-rights» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>ICCPR</a>. The EU Charter even explicitly codifies this right in Article 3 <a href=»https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/treaty/char_2012/oj/eng» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>CFR</a>. The right protects mental health, but also mental well-being more broadly. Furthermore, in the European context, the right arguably also protects against unwanted interferences into one's mind and thus also safeguards mental self-determination (<a href=»https://academic.oup.com/jlb/article/12/1/lsaf010/8156051″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Ligthart</a>; <a href=»https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-handbook-of-new-human-rights/critical-reflections-on-the-need-for-a-right-to-mental-selfdetermination/9D05039B9B75B4B84957F39EBE836FFE» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Michalowski</a>).</p>
<p>Besides mental integrity, there is the <em>right to freedom of thought</em> explicitly recognized in most human rights treaties, such as Article 18 ICCPR, Article 9 ECHR, Article 13 <a href=»https://www.oas.org/en/iachr/expression/showarticle.asp?artID=25&;lID=1″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>ACHR</a>, and Article 10 CFR (on this right in various jurisdictions, including <a href=»https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-handbook-of-the-right-to-freedom-of-thought/right-to-freedom-of-thought-in-germany/85D3E477C749410B1A47EEAC109D2C0D» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Germany</a>, cf. <a href=»https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-handbook-of-the-right-to-freedom-of-thought/C309F5AF4F395DE46ECFDE7B9F9507B1″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>O'Callaghan/Shiner</a>). Yet, this right has been rather neglected in case law so far and is underdeveloped. It could be interpreted <a href=»https://academic.oup.com/hrlr/article-abstract/25/3/ngaf015/8155293″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>broadly as protecting mental experience and mental being as a whole</a>, including mental features such as attention. In this regard, it is often linked to mental autonomy, ensuring a self-determined use of technologies and the absence of manipulative features (cf. <a href=»https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12152-025-09582-9″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Istace</a>; <a href=»https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-handbook-of-the-right-to-freedom-of-thought/online-manipulation-as-a-potential-interference-with-the-right-to-freedom-of-thought/47C21E9D2B8FF1834E1AED4A0CB22EF8″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Keese/Leiser</a>; <a href=»https://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/thematic-reports/a76380-interim-report-special-rapporteur-freedom-religion-or-belief» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>UN Report Shaheed</a>) – specifically on social media (see <a href=»https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12142-025-00751-0″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Bublitz</a>).</p>
<p>Henceforth, established rights are protecting against negative or unwanted impacts on the human mind. Yet, the crucial question remains whether the social media practices in question amount to an interference with these rights. The addictive design features of social media, such as infinite scroll, algorithmic recommendations, and autoplay videos, are widely discussed (see <a href=»https://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/social-media-mental-harm-digital-services-act» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Pałka/Ilczuk</a>). Still, the legal recognition and attribution of a causal harm remain disputed. The negative effects are often not caused by a single intervention but results from an accumulation over time (cf. <a href=»https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12142-025-00751-0″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Bublitz</a>). Furthermore, as Meta argued in the <em>KGM </em>case, one could contend that it is not the platform's design that is the main factor, but rather the individual user behaviour and their social and family environment. Hence, one faces both conceptual and empirical difficulties.</p>
<p>This reminds of the challenges faced in the context of climate change, where diffuse damages and a complex interplay between various actors takes place (see <a href=»https://academic.oup.com/ejil/article/33/3/925/6717882?login=false&;guestAccessKey=» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Heri</a>). In the context of climate change, litigation has <a href=»https://www.climatecasechart.com/» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>increased</a> following the initial court victories, such as the <a href=»https://www.climatecasechart.com/document/urgenda-foundation-v-state-of-the-netherlands_3297″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»><em>Urgenda</em> case</a> (cf. <a href=»https://www.elgaronline.com/view/journals/jhre/13/1/article-p35.xml?ref=the-wave» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Maxwell et al</a>.). Last week's U.S. rulings could mark such a moment for big tech litigation, as the courts recognised for the first time that the mental effects caused by social media are legally relevant. This is not only important for civil proceedings but also for human rights. Courts may be more inclined to classify these social media practices as human rights interference, for example with the right to mental integrity or freedom of thought, thereby introducing new positive obligations on the states.</p>
<h2>Why human rights?</h2>
<p>Yet why should one engage in human rights litigation when there are other legal avenues available? In Europe, the <a href=»https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32022R2065#art_25″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Digital Services Act</a> (DSA) provides a comprehensive regulation of social media platforms. The competent authorities could impose sanctions under Article 52 DSA et seq. for insufficient risk assessment and mitigation (Article 34, 35 DSA) by social media platforms regarding mental well-being (cf. <a href=»https://verfassungsblog.de/tiktok-design-eu/» data-wpel-link=»internal»>Baranowska/Malgieri</a>). Additionally, users could seek compensation for damages or loss they suffered as a result of provider's non-compliance with the DSA (Article 54 DSA). These are promising avenues to explore.</p>
<p>Still, human rights litigation may prove increasingly valuable in the years to come. Private actors are not directly bound by human rights and human rights have only an indirect effect between them through their positive dimension (cf. <a href=»https://opil.ouplaw.com/display/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e879?p=emailAQ4EaFRVH8RWE&;d=/10.1093/law:epil/9780199231690/law-9780199231690-e879″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Bjorge</a>). States are obliged to protect individuals from human rights infringements by other individuals and to redress and punish such behaviour (cf. <a href=»https://www.refworld.org/reference/research/coe/2007/67106″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Akandji-Kombe</a>;<a href=»https://www.refworld.org/legal/general/hrc/2004/52451″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»> HRC GC 31</a>). Yet, they enjoy a wide margin of appreciation as to how to fulfil these obligations. They can do so by adopting or effectively enforcing regulations to prevent harm, or by ensuring redress through civil remedies or criminal law. Human rights can thus create positive duties on states to regulate platforms. This is particularly promising for jurisdictions that, unlike the EU, do not yet regulate social media. Even where regulation exists, states may have a positive obligation to ensure its effective implementation and enforcement. Human rights, in their positive dimension, thus go beyond individual compensation and allow to consider the broader regulatory structure. Human rights litigation can reveal gaps and enforcement deficits in existing regulation, such as the DSA, and oblige states to address them.</p>
<p>Furthermore, many jurisdictions, notably the EU, follow a different approach to the U.S., which is not only a common law system but also traditionally relies on liability as a corrective mechanism in a relatively unregulated market. The EU, however, along with most of its member states, pursues a regulatory and rights-based approach (cf. <a href=»https://global.oup.com/academic/product/digital-empires-9780197649268?cc=de&;lang=en&;» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Bradford</a>). Fundamental rights are explicitly referred to and integrated in regulation such as the DSA (e.g. Article 34(1)b DSA). Clearer human rights standards established through litigation can therefore also strengthen the interpretation and application of legislation such as the DSA or domestic civil law, for instance by prompting a reconsideration of liability rules, which have traditionally been reluctant to award damages for purely psychological harm (see <a href=»https://policyreview.info/articles/analysis/social-media-mental-harm-digital-services-act» data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Pałka/Ilczuk</a>; <a href=»https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/cambridge-handbook-of-responsible-artificial-intelligence/liability-for-artificial-intelligence/12A89C1852919C7DBE9CE982B4DE54B7″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>Wendehorst</a>). Litigation can clarify the scope of existing rights and delineate states obligations even if ultimately no violation is found.</p>
<h2>Outlook</h2>
<p>The two U.S. judgments are but a small first step forward, particularly as they focus on children's health as well as serious psychological effects. Although they do not address broader issues of mental well-being and autonomy, they are a first legal recognition of the harmful mental effects of social media, encompassing both the systemic and the personal dimension. These initial legal victories will likely trigger further litigation within and beyond the U.S. In Europe, mobilisation of the DSA may be the preferable first option, particularly as the European Commission <a href=»https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_312″ data-wpel-link=»external» target=»_blank» rel=»external noopener noreferrer»>appears increasingly willing</a> to enforce it rigorously. Yet human rights offer a broader playing field. In their positive dimension, they extend beyond individual compensation by considering the wider regulatory structure. They could therefore provide an additional pathway towards creating a liveable digital environment for all users.</p>
