Oregon social media addiction lawsuit
Families in Oregon are holding Meta, TikTok, Snap and YouTube responsible for harm to their children, one case at a time. Here is who may qualify, how Oregon cases are filed, and the deadline that applies.
Quick answer
Oregon families can bring individual claims, not a class action, against Meta, TikTok, Snap and Google (YouTube) when a child was harmed after heavy use before 18. Oregon’s filing deadline for these claims is being confirmed, so ask early: a free review checks your family’s deadline.
Who may qualify in Oregon
- The child lives or lived in Oregon and used Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat or YouTube regularly before 18
- The child developed depression, anxiety, an eating disorder, self-harm, sleep problems or another serious harm
- No diagnosis? 20 or more hours a week on one platform before 18 may support an exposure claim
- Families of a young person who died by suicide after heavy social media use
- An adult contacted the child through a platform and pressured, threatened or exploited them
Oregon filing deadlines
Oregon’s deadline rules for these claims are being confirmed because the rule for minors needs a lawyer’s review. Deadlines for children vary by state and can be short, so contact us early and a lawyer will check your family’s deadline.
How Oregon cases are filed
This is not a class action. A Oregon family’s claim is filed in the child’s name. Federal cases from every state are grouped in MDL No. 3047 in Northern California so evidence and pre-trial rulings are shared; about 3,800 were pending in October 2026. Some cases are filed in state court instead. The lawyers decide with your family where your case belongs.
What Oregon has done
This state's attorney general joined the joint lawsuit 33 states filed against Meta (Instagram and Facebook) in federal court in Northern California on October 24, 2023. The suit says Meta built features to hook kids and misled the public about the risks.
Lawsuits and laws by the state are separate from a family’s own claim. They do not file or replace a claim for your child.
