Portugal's D3 sues Meta, TikTok, YouTube over addictive design

A Portuguese digital rights group, D3, has filed lawsuits against Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. The group alleges that these platforms utilize \"addictive design\" features to keep users hooked, comparing these techniques to gambling industry feedback loops. While Google defends its safety tools, the case adds to growing global scrutiny over social media's impact on mental health.
