Facebook as a drug
Unsurprisingly excessive drug use can cause brain damage. New research shows that Facebook is more addictive than cigarettes or alcohol. If Facebook causes brain damage, can you sue Facebook? The answer is possibly. Addiction to Facebook has even been given its own name FAD, or Facebook Addiction Disorder.
Researchers have found that FAD is as addictive as any other chemical addiction, including Nicotine, Cocaine, Nicotine and Crystal Methamphetamine.
These researches found that alcohol and cigarettes produced lower levels of desire than social media.
Do You have a Case?
In terms of personal injury, the research is showing that Facebook and other social media platforms are producing content that has equivalent addictive qualities to that of illegal drugs. This could entitle you to compensation if you feel that you have been harmed due to Facebook’s inherent addictive qualities.
Brain damage lawyers are skilled and knowledgeable in the most recent and advanced areas of personal injury law. To evaluate if you have a potential case against Facebook it is advised that you speak to an experienced personal injury attorney.
