Impact: The core business incentive remains tied to dangerous algorithmic retention.
Structural Reform

Independent Engineering Audits & Model Weights Access
Requiring third-party academic and governmental safety engineers to inspect retention-tuning weights and automated content funnel thresholds before deployment to minors.
Reform Goal: Pre-deployment harm modeling rather than post-mortem liability settlements.

PERMANENT HARM
Lennon Torres: "Settlement Isn't Enough for Their Pain"
Parents who lost children emphasize that financial compensation cannot bring back a child. Their universal legislative plea is preventing future tragedies through structural changes.
Core Finding: Without behavioral redesigns, monetary payouts constitute acceptable operational expenses for tech monopolies.
Structural Reform
UNFULFILLED
Statutory Duty of Care for Minor Platform Users
Establishing clear legal duties preventing product designs reasonably foreseeable to induce psychological harm, severe addiction, or physical danger in minors.
Reform Goal: Direct civil liability enabling parent suits without Section 230 preemption.
