Nearly half of Black women in Canada delay health care over fears of racism: survey

They surveyed nearly 2,000 Black women, girls and gender diverse people across Canada, collecting both data and the personal stories of those experiencing anti-Black racism first hand.

Is social media addictive?

Meta and YouTube must pay millions in damages to a 20-year-old woman after a jury decided the social media giant and video streamer designed their platforms to hook young users without concern for their well being.

The California jury’s decision Wednesday in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit could influence the outcome of thousands of similar lawsuits accusing social media companies of deliberately causing harm.

The plaintiff, known by her initials KGM, testified at trial that she became addicted to social media as a child and that this addiction exacerbated her mental health struggles. After more than 40 hours of deliberations, a majority of jurors agreed and awarded her US$3 million in damages.
