> California Attorney General Rob Bonta calls the landmark youth safety case against Meta a “tobacco moment,” alleging that the company knowingly designed Facebook and Instagram features that harmed children and prioritized profit over safety. The states are seeking financial penalties and product changes, while Meta denies the allegations and says it has worked to make its platforms safer.
