Wyoming social media addiction lawsuit

Families in Wyoming are holding Meta, TikTok, Snap and YouTube responsible for harm to their children, one case at a time. Here is who may qualify, how Wyoming cases are filed, and the deadline that applies.

Quick answer

Wyoming 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. Wyoming’s filing deadline for these claims is being confirmed, so ask early: a free review checks your family’s deadline.

Who may qualify in Wyoming

  • The child lives or lived in Wyoming 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

Wyoming filing deadlines

Wyoming’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 Wyoming cases are filed

This is not a class action. A Wyoming 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.

Its responsible attorney, Justin Grove, is licensed in Michigan only and is not licensed in Wyoming. Cases for Wyoming families are handled together with co-counsel admitted in the court where the case is filed.
