Social Media Drug Pushers Top 10 Political Cartoons of the Week

Big Tech is pushing addictive social media like drugs — and a California jury just said they’re liable for harming kids. Meta and YouTube face new heat as cartoonists slam the platforms for targeting children and fueling a mental health crisis. Our most-reprinted cartoon this week comes from R.J. Matson, who nails the “social media drug pusher” vibe perfectly. From addiction comparisons to calls for regulation, here are our Top 10 Political Cartoons of the Week.

In a landmark case last month, a California jury found Meta and YouTube liable for designing their platforms to be addictive and harmful to children.

Since everyone uses social media these days, a number of our most-reprinted cartoons this week focused on the ruling and the harm these platforms continue to create,.

Our top cartoon this week, drawn by R.J. Matson, draws on a classic 1980s commercial to compare social media to addictive drugs.

John Darkow goes a bit further, showing social media companies as bad guys trying to woo kids and get them hooked, something they’ve now been found liable of doing.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:
