TechMeta, 29 states head to court in biggest test yet of youth social media litigation
Meta Platforms is set to face a coalition of attorneys general from 29 states in a federal court trial in California beginning Wednesday. The case alleges that the company engineered Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children. A ruling against Meta could expose it to massive damages and require sweeping changes to its platforms. The proceedings represent the largest test so far for litigation over the effects of social media on young users.
