Summary
The charity he set up in her memory and chairs, the Molly Rose Foundation, has said it expects the stateside ruling “will be the first of many dominoes to fall”, with a wave of legal challenges being brought against tech firms. Ian Russell, the father of 14-year-old Molly, from Harrow, London – who took her own life in 2017 after viewing harmful content, gave evidence in the landmark case brought by New Mexico , which the social media company lost in March. So the new age limit regime has to be strong enough, with penalties large enough, that compliance becomes the cheaper option. “Anything less and we will be back here in a few years having the same argument, with tragically more families in our position.” Meanwhile, Meta has vowed to appeal against the New Mexico ruling.
Furthermore, Ms Roome added: “These companies have never changed when they were shown the evidence of harm, or when bereaved parents like me sat in front of them and explained what had happened to our children. “They react to force and force alone. A New Mexico court has now ruled that the firm pays the additional sum to address the suffering caused to youngsters by its sites.
