00:00Tell me exactly what happened. I'm trying to give him CPR. I need to give him CPR.
00:05I'm trying to give him CPR. I need you to take a breath. I need you to take a breath.
00:08We will take TikTok.
00:14I feel like TikTok just put the gun in his hand and told him, pull the trigger.
00:19How many more children have to die because Snapchat chooses profits over safety?
00:24I've stopped seven times.
00:27I don't know of any other kids at OD, Don't Fenton, all that are still here.
00:32The Social Media Victims Law Center is a law firm founded for the sole purpose of holding social media companies accountable for the harms that they're causing children.
00:40Let's say I'm a dealer. I can easily locate you. I'm going to be at the park around the corner. You can come meet me here. It's like the platform was built for that.
00:48I found my son's lifeless body due to fentanyl poisoning. They have the best distribution system in the world and nobody has stopped them.
00:56What do you say to those parents, Mr. Spiegel?
00:59I'm so sorry that we have not been able to prevent these tragedies.
01:05For years, because of Section 230, the doors to this courthouse and the entire American legal system was closed to them.
01:14These products were specifically designed to be addictive to adolescent brains, and this is known to the defendant.
01:21It's just me and Glenn and Laura down here up against the most powerful, richest companies in the world.
01:27People say David and Goliath, and I say it's not Goliath, this is Leviathan.
01:31We're gathering evidence that is going to show the judge that Snapchat's full of it.
01:35When they say that we don't know how it works, we don't know how it works.
01:39Hi, Michael. We're going to make a difference.
01:41This is the first case that's ever been tried in this way. Based on the design of their algorithm, based on the design of their platform, not the content.
01:51My son and his girlfriend had had disagreements. Imagine having that sadness, and you're searching for help, and what you're getting is suicide content.
02:02These companies have been gaslighting us for years.
02:05This is all about money.
02:06The purpose of all commercial ventures is to create a demand.
02:11Our children are the casualties. We need to take back the power from these companies.
02:16They created a dangerous situation, and then manipulated these kids.
02:20They know the levels of addiction, sexual abuse. They know the levels of suicide.
02:26They're not showing our kids what they want to see. They're showing you what they can't look away from.
02:32We all feel empathy for the plaintiffs and their losses.
02:36But plaintiffs have not, and indeed cannot, assert any legal theory under which SNAP would be held accountable.
02:43These parents are going out there every day and re-traumatizing themselves.
02:48I'll never see his face again or hear his laugh.
02:51If this can save even one person, it'll be worth it.
03:02I think this is the fight I've been training for for 30 years.
03:06Alright, let's go to war.
