Social Media can cause lasting harm on your children. Help protect them from predatory social media practices.
Social Media companies should have to reimburse you for any expenses caused by their harmful practices.
Let Mark Brynteson take care of the difficult procedures, while you focus on the health and safety of your child.
If your child struggled with compulsive social media use or emotional distress while using Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, or Snapchat, your family may be entitled to significant compensation.
For years, these companies put profits ahead of our children’s well-being. Internal documents revealed they knew their algorithms — infinite scroll, constant notifications, and personalized content feeds — were highly addictive, especially for teenagers. Yet they continued pushing harmful material while doing little to protect minors.
As a parent, you’ve likely seen the devastating effects: the secrecy, the mood swings, the withdrawal from real life, the tears, the anxiety, the depression. You tried setting limits. You worried constantly. And now the courts have confirmed what you felt in your gut — your child was being exploited.
In March 2026, a California jury held Meta and YouTube liable, awarding $6 million in damages (including punitive damages) to a young woman whose childhood was damaged by their platforms. Meta was found 70% responsible. TikTok and Snapchat settled related claims in the same massive lawsuit before trial, while other cases against them continue to move forward.
Meta, Instagram, Youtube, Tik Tok, and Snapchat have all either settled or are in litigation and will be forced to settle.
Parents often ask: “Was my child affected?” The court evidence and expert testimony highlighted these common signs of harm linked to prolonged, addictive social media use:
If your child showed any of these symptoms while heavily using Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, or Snapchat, your family may qualify for compensation. You deserve justice for what happened to your child. Brynteson Law is actively helping families like yours seek the compensation they are owed. Attorney Mark Brynteson is fighting to hold these companies accountable.

I have known Mr. Brynteson for many years. I first met him in a social setting at a men's prayer group, then later had the privilege to use him professionally on several occasions. Mr. Brynteson has set up two non-profit corporations that I am a part of in record time. His competence, speed of action and knowledge in the area was astounding! I believe that Mr. Brynteson has the integrity that he would not take on any case in which he feels he could not do an exceptional job for his client. I certainly could recommend this gentlemen and am privileged to publicly give him a 5 star rating.
When I finally called Mark Brynteson after being mired in a nasty situation for several months, Mark immediately took charge and directed every reponse on my part. He explained the problems clearly from a legal standpoint and also provided options when they were available. One day when I was quite sick and flat on my back, Mark called to follow up on a problem. When he finished, he said, "Today I'm not on the clock". Under the circumstances, that consideration was highly appreciated.
We have found Mark Brynteson to give both informed and researched advice. After using several different lawyers, we now go directly to Mark for our legal issues. Having had such a good experience I would highly recommend his services. We will continue to rely on Mark for all of our future legal needs.
Mark D. Brynteson has been practicing law for over 35 years. Let him put that experience to use for you.
I believe the law is about the people and we fight for our clients every step of the way. Contact me and I will review your case for free. Call today! Or feel free to fill out the contact form to the right and I’ll get in touch with you soon!
