José Castañeda is not mentioned in any of the provided news articles. The articles center on a landmark US trial concerning social media addiction. The trial involves a lawsuit against Meta (Instagram and Facebook) and YouTube, brought by a group of parents, teens, and school districts, accusing the tech giants of intentionally designing their products to be addictive, particularly to children. A 20-year-old woman, identified by her initials KGM, is the lead plaintiff and testified about her experience of becoming addicted to YouTube at age six and Instagram at age nine, leading to depression and self-harm by age ten. The trial is significant as it's the first time a jury will hear testimony on this issue and could potentially hold social media companies accountable for the alleged harms caused by their platforms' addictive designs. The trial is ongoing in Los Angeles.
