Two landmark jury verdicts in 48 hours confirm what 100 million users already knew: the way Big Tech platforms are built is harmful. Gan Jing World's non-addictive, family-safe, privacy-first design offers a proven alternative that families have been looking for.
MIDDLETOWN, NY, April 6, 2026 — Gan Jing World (GJW) — the non-addictive, family-safe, privacy-first video platform — is stepping forward as the proven alternative to Big Tech at a defining moment for the technology industry.
In the span of 48 hours, two American juries delivered verdicts that may reshape it. On March 24, a New Mexico jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million for misleading consumers about platform safety and enabling child sexual exploitation on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. On March 25, a Los Angeles jury found both Meta and YouTube liable for negligently designing addictive platforms that harmed a young woman — awarding $6 million in damages after finding the companies acted with ‘malice, oppression, or fraud.’
Together, these verdicts represent the first time juries have held social media companies accountable for the design of their platforms — not merely the content users post. Legal experts have called it Big Tech's Big Tobacco moment. More than 1,600 plaintiffs — including over 250 school districts — are already in California state proceedings, with 2,000+ additional cases pending in federal court nationwide.
Gan Jing World has been building a different platform since July 4, 2022.
How Gan Jing World Is Built Different
Internal documents revealed during the Los Angeles trial showed YouTube describing its own goal as “viewer addiction,” not viewership. Meta employees in 2020 described Instagram as “a drug” and themselves as “pushers.”
Gan Jing World made different engineering choices from the ground up.
“We are building the platform to serve humanity, but not to control people. People are not the product here.” — Dr. Sherry Yin, CEO of Gan Jing World
Ethical AI detection. GJW's proprietary Ethical AI system uses three deep learning modules — Video Quality Rating, Inappropriate Content Detection, and Negative Emotion Textual Detection — to screen content before it ever reaches users. The result: a platform free from gratuitous violence, sexual content, crime, and drugs. In 2025 studies, 100% of parents surveyed said they trust GJW to block harmful content.
No addictive algorithms. In designing our content structure and recommendations, GJW does not rely on user behavior alone. We also built an interactive content library where content is tagged and organized by knowledge-based categories — much like an encyclopedia. With clear categories, subcategories, and thousands of topics, our multi-layered tagging is made transparent through a library-style smart index — putting discovery back in the hands of the user.
"We intentionally designed this system to be transparent, so users can make their own choices freely — without being blindly steered by an algorithm. Just as you never worry about getting addicted in a library, our platform helps users expand their knowledge and enrich their lives." — Nick Janicki, Director of Media Relations, Gan Jing World
A Complete Ecosystem for Everyone
In under three years, this philosophy has grown into a seven-product ecosystem: Gan Jing World, GJW+ Streaming, Gan Jing Kids, Gan Jing Campus, Gan Jing Cloud, Gan Jing Browser, and Gan Jing Meeting.
Among them, Gan Jing Kids stands out as the #1 safe platform for values-based learning and fun, built with a triple-layered safety model and content organized across six educational pillars: Social-Emotional Learning, Cognitive Development, Language & Stories, STEM, Creativity & Arts, and Health & Movement.
Global Impact in Classrooms and Communities
The platform’s impact extends beyond technology. Leejun Taylor, a public school teacher in Albany, New York, discovered that two of her students had spent 27 hours straight online over a single weekend. After introducing Gan Jing Campus and Gan Jing Kids into her teaching and leading her class to participate in GJW’s global #BeKindBeCool kindness campaign, her classroom transformed. One of those students became more personable, got into sports, and became a much happier person. Her class won a prize in the 2025 #BeKindBeCool Video Awards.
In Taiwan, teacher Chen Jing-Rong used Gan Jing Campus to help a boy who had run away from home multiple times — reconnect with his mother and thrive academically. She was awarded Taiwan’s highest national teaching honor, the Shi-duo Award, by President Lai Ching-te in 2025.
The annual #BeKindBeCool Video Awards have generated over 10 million views on GJW, 1 billion+ total impressions, and 26,000+ entries from 4,352 content creators. The 2025 ceremony was held at Times Square in New York.

Why Now: The Inflection Point
The March 2026 verdicts establish for the first time that platform design features — not just user-generated content — can give rise to product liability and negligence claims. With a federal bellwether trial set to begin this summer in Oakland, California, and additional litigation from attorneys general across the country, pressure on Big Tech platforms will only intensify.
Schools, municipalities, and family-oriented institutions are actively seeking safer digital alternatives. Gan Jing World is that alternative — and with 100 million unique users reached in under four years, the demand is proven.
