What does the US “Addictive Design” verdict mean for India?
A recent US court verdict against Meta has reignited scrutiny around “addictive design”. While the case is American, its implications are already echoing in India, where millions interact daily with platforms like Instagram and YouTube. India is not just a passive market here; it is one of the largest user bases globally. Yet, regulation and design accountability remain weak. Features like infinite scroll, autoplay, and algorithmic feeds are deeply embedded in everyday digital life. This moment raises a sharper question for India’s builders: is growth still going to be driven by attention extraction, or by responsible design? If India gets this right, it won’t just regulate Big Tech. It could redefine what humane digital innovation looks like at population scale. News Source: Communications Today
