I am puzzled that TwitterX was left out of the list of defendants.  That one has way deeper pockets and is more addictive, with fewer controls over content.  Perhaps the plaintiff must sue the addictive content provider there rather than the platform.  I cannot say which content provider(s) caused my addiction on ExI.
