Ever notice that the company whose entire business model depends on you never putting your phone down is now in court defending itself for... making you never put your phone down?

Meta is on trial in Los Angeles. Not for a data breach. Not for a hack. For allegedly engineering their platforms to be as addictive as possible, specifically targeting kids.

And here's what nobody's talking about: this isn't a bug. The engagement algorithms, the infinite scroll, the dopamine loops, the notification design. That was the product. You were never the customer. You were the inventory.

The trial is exposing internal documents that suggest they knew. They measured it. They optimized it anyway.

So the next time a 14 year old can't put their phone down at dinner, just remember. That's not a parenting failure. That might be an engineering success.

Follow for more of what the tech giants hope you're too distracted to notice.
