A jury has found Meta and YouTube liable in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit that aimed to hold social media platforms responsible for harm to children using their services. The decision Wednesday came after more than 40 hours of deliberation across nine days and more than a month since jurors heard opening statements in the trial. The plaintiff is a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM in documents and her lawyers called her Kaley during the trial. She says she became addicted to social media as a child and that this addiction exacerbated her mental health struggles. The companies must pay her a total $6 million in damages.

A Texas landlord's case before the U.S. Supreme Court is challenging the U.S. Postal Service's exemption from lawsuits over lost or mishandled mail. The landlord alleges her mail was deliberately withheld for two years. The Postal Service argues that allowing such lawsuits could lead to a flood of litigation. During oral arguments last month, a government lawyer warned of numerous lawsuits if the court rules in the landlord's favor. However, the landlord's attorney claims such cases would be rare. The Supreme Court's decision could redefine the Postal Service's liability under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
