Legal action to tackle

addictive social media design

A group of parents are looking to bring a groundbreaking legal challenge in the English courts to make social media platforms change their addictive designs — and protect millions of teens.

​

If they succeed, this case could set a powerful precedent. It could force all major platforms to rethink how they design their apps, not just in the UK but across Europe.

Why This Matters

​

This isn’t about seeking money or compensation. It’s about real change.
It means social media platforms could be made to:
​
•Stop exploiting teenagers’ personal data.
•Make their platforms less addictive.
•Give young people back control over their time and attention.
​
This case is a chance to stand up for what’s right. To tell tech giants:
​
Our kids are not a product.

Who We’re Looking For:
Teen Claimants (14 - 16 Years Old)

For this legal challenge, we need a teenage claimant.
​
Could your family help?
​
We’re looking to speak with families of teenagers who:
​
•Spend or have spent a lot of time on social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram.
​
•Feel that social media has negatively impacted their studies, mental health, or overall well-being.
​
•Are motivated to help make a difference.
​
Being a claimant is a big decision — but it’s also a chance to change the system.
​
The process would take around 1-2 years, and the teenager’s identity would be kept completely confidential. There are no costs involved to you, and you’ll be provided with support throughout.
