Lawsuits allege Google's Gemini AI and Snap harmed young users
Technology
Google and Snap are in hot water as lawsuits claim their platforms aren't doing enough to protect young users.
One case says Google's Gemini AI triggered a child's mental health crisis, while Snap just settled claims that its app caused distress for teenagers.
With more tech in schools, people are worried these tools aren't safe enough for children.
Experts call for safer children's tech
These lawsuits highlight bigger issues with how tech companies design their products, often putting engagement ahead of safety.
Experts say it's a wake-up call: Tech companies need to put kids' safety first, or they could face reputation hits.
As more cases pop up against giants like Meta and TikTok, expect stronger action on how tech is built for younger users.
