LOS ANGELES: Jurors will return to court here on Thursday (March 19) to continue deliberations in a civil trial accusing Meta and YouTube of harmfully hooking young internet users.

Since jury deliberations began on March 13, the jury sent questions to the judge related to the plaintiff's family troubles as well as how much she actually used Meta-owned Instagram as a child.
