"What mother hears a knock at the door, goes to open it, finds the bogeyman there and entrusts her child to him?"This is the metaphor that attorney Stefano Commodo uses to describe the risks that young people are exposed to due to social media.
The first class action against the web giants Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok to protect minors has started in Turin, with the assistance of our law firm. A group of Italian parents, together with the MoigeThe Italian Parents' Movement, believing that these social media platforms are harmful to their children's health, intends to demonstrate, with the assistance of various experts, including psychiatrists and IT consultants, that the use of these social media platforms can be harmful to the health of young people. It calls for a ban on social media access for children under 14, for the platforms to address systems that create addiction, and for clear information to be provided about the risks associated with their use by minors.
PODCAST AT HOME It is with the attorney Stefano Commodo, senior partner of the firm Ambrosio & Commodo, who follows numerous families and parents who feel damaged: "A legal action begins but it is also a civil battle" The injunction action represents only the first step of a broader path that will be articulated in a subsequent compensation action open to parents whose children have suffered damages from frequenting social media (for all the details, the website is available classactionsocial.it).
