Maybe instead of suing for money and that whole circus, they could sue to modify the machine learning neural nets or models to prevent their tragedy in the future for someone else's kid? For most social networks, that is.
I don't know I'm fairly particular to this social network, Hacker News, the social network for essays. The opposite of Twitter.
So in fact I'm rate-limited because my posts are controversial, but I accept this and deliberately did not ask for full free access again. It is a better version of the no-procast (meaning no procrastination, I think it's from 2007 or 2008) feature, which can easily be worked around on short notice without talking to a human. No shame factor. Doesn't work for that reason.
And that's it! No social media addiction! And I have quite the addictive personality, been to rehab after all!
Solve my own problem in a clever way, like a hacker, hack my own Hacker News addiction! Just like it says on the box!
And I volunteer to give testimony in favor of this social network, Hacker News, in court, if it's still like it is now. Which includes suing without trying to actually solve the problem by talking to the mods, or making a post.
Note that on May 12, 2012, at 11 AM, I was declared to be a hero in terms of the Roman Law definition, at the corner of Kearney and Bush, in San Francisco California. This means victims (it can be a single victim too in other cases) call you a hero for saving them from a criminal, in the spur of the moment, right then and there, of their own accord. They had asked me to defend them and I really did defend them, the cops ended up catching the perp at the scene of the crime, it was beautiful. According to me it was beautiful, actually the victims said "That was perfect!"
I might enjoy a little more credibility because of it. That's the point of that Roman law. Apparently that law fell off the books because it flat-out never came up, not because it was a bad law. And any court can make a declaration backing this, any court, that law isn't even necessary.
Including the social addiction media court, I suppose. If you wanted to sue Hacker News you might need more ammo for that judge and jury. More expensive lawyer perhaps. More prestigious expert witnesses.
If on the other hand you want help with addiction, write me, and look at my comments where I talk about it, at https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=daniel-cussen https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=daniel-cussen
