The Chico, California, family claims KGM was unwittingly exposed to harmful content as well as strangers with nefarious intent, including one who sexually extorted her. “Her mother said no to social media,” according to the complaint. KGM, the complaint claims, also suffered “bullying and sextortion” on Instagram, though it was never clear if this was by someone she knew offline or a “random stranger” the app had connected her with. “I believe that social media, her addiction to social media, has changed the way her brain works,” the plaintiff’s mother said in a related filing, according to the Los Angeles Times. The case “marks the beginning of the first trial in history seeking to hold social media companies accountable for the harms their products inflict on children,” Matthew P. Bergman, founding attorney at Social Media Victims Law Center, told The Post.
