Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has filed a lawsuit against YouTube alleging that it has engaged in “deceptive and unconscionable trade practices” to induce addiction.
“YouTube has deceived users and parents about the safety of its platforms for youth,” Griffin said in a statement. “YouTube has profited substantially off young Arkansans because it deliberately designed its platform to be addictive by using features to keep users engaged for as long as possible.”
