Meta faces trial over child addiction claims

Meta faces a historic lawsuit in the United States, where 29 states accuse the company of intentionally fostering addiction among children and exploiting them by designing Instagram and Facebook platforms in ways that attract kids and lead to excessive use, all while concealing the associated risks from the public. The states are seeking fines of up to approximately $200 billion and demanding changes to the apps to protect young users, including imposing screen time limits. This dispute is considered the largest legal challenge against the company since similar accusations were made against tobacco companies in the 1990s. The trial is expected to last several weeks, with predictions of a ruling that would require Meta to make fundamental changes to its practices to safeguard the mental health of young users.
