Meta and Google are on trial for allegedly creating addictive features on their platforms.
Features like autoplay videos, infinite scrolling, and constant alerts are central to the case.
The trial has been compared to the lawsuits against tobacco companies in the 1990s.
The case could redefine tech companies' responsibilities for their platform designs.
Meta claims providing a safer experience for young users has always been a priority.
The jury's verdict is pending and could have significant implications for the tech industry.
