AT A GLANCE:
Adults who had an Instagram account, used the platform within the last five years, and used Instagram before turning 18 may qualify to participate in this legal investigation.
A nationwide legal investigation is examining allegations that Instagram's platform and design contributed to compulsive social media use and mental health harms among young users.
Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements may be entitled to compensation.
Instagram is the subject of a nationwide legal investigation involving allegations that certain features of the platform were designed to encourage prolonged and repetitive use, particularly among younger users. These claims allege that the platform's design contributed to excessive engagement and may have negatively affected the mental health and well-being of some users.
The investigation is focused on individuals who created and used Instagram before turning 18 and continued using the platform within the last five years. Reported impacts may include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders, sleep disturbances, or interference with school or everyday life.
If you had an Instagram account, used the platform before age 18, and experienced these or similar challenges, you may qualify to participate in this legal investigation and seek compensation.
If you qualify, you can bring a claim through arbitration—a legal process similar to court but often faster and more streamlined. Our legal partners will handle the process on your behalf.
Correct. These are individual arbitration claims, not a class action or traditional lawsuit. It’s a common way to hold companies accountable when they’ve violated privacy or consumer protection laws.
There are no upfront costs to you. Legal fees are only collected if your case is won or settled. If there is no recovery, you will not be responsible for any fees or costs.
