Social Media Harm Litigation Funding & Case Management Cooperative

A member-owned cooperative that pools parent contributions into a legal war chest, matches cases with vetted plaintiff's attorneys on contingency, and provides shared case management infrastructure (discovery coordination, expert witness networks, settlement negotiation templates). Parents pay annual membership fees; the co-op funds 3–5 high-impact cases per year against platforms, with any settlement proceeds returned to members proportionally.

SERVICE

51 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Eliminates the $500k–$2M barrier to individual litigation by distributing legal costs across 500–1000 members. Achieves economies of scale in discovery (reuse depositions, expert reports across cases). Removes the 'one-off lawsuit' problem—creates sustained legal pressure on platforms. Members get standing in a collective action without waiting for class certification.

Target Audience

Parents of children (ages 8–17) experiencing documented mental health harms (anxiety, depression, self-harm) attributed to social media use; organized parent advocacy groups; school districts with rising mental health crisis data.

Key Features

  • Member intake & case screening (mental health documentation, platform use timeline, harm causation evidence)
  • Attorney network (pre-vetted contingency counsel in 8–10 key jurisdictions)
  • Shared discovery repository (deposition transcripts, internal platform documents, expert reports reusable across cases)
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Airtable or Notion (case management & member database) Zapier (form automation & notification workflows) Google Drive (shared discovery repository with granular permissions) Stripe or Wise (membership payment processing & settlement disbursement)

Original Problem

Parents unable to protect children from addictive social media platforms designed to maximize engagement at the expense of mental health

Parents and guardians struggle to shield children from social media platforms that deliberately use psychological manipulation tactics to increase addiction and engagement, leading to documented mental health harms including anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Current parental controls and platform safety features are insufficient because they don't address the underlying business model that profits from user engagement regardless of harm. Legal recourse is expensive and slow, leaving parents feeling helpless as their children's mental health deteriorates.
