Meta Trial: Instagram CEO Denies Covering Platform Risks

A trial in the United States has revealed that Meta designs its Instagram and Facebook platforms in a way that can promote addiction among children and teenagers, while also minimizing efforts to activate safety features like the "Take a Break" button—whose usage has been found to be very low. Although the "Take a Break" feature was automatically enabled approximately three years after its launch in September 2021, most young users did not utilize it. The state accuses Meta of violating laws by inappropriately collecting data from children under the age of 13, with potential fines reaching up to $200 billion. Testimonies indicate that there is an awareness within the company of the dangers posed by content such as bullying and suicidal themes, and some officials allegedly attempted to conceal information regarding adolescent safety. This case represents one of Meta’s most significant legal challenges and highlights the impact of social media on the mental health of children and teenagers.
