Meta faces trial on social media impact
A coalition of 29 US states is suing Meta, alleging the company violated federal and state laws by designing addictive features on Facebook and Instagram that improperly target children and teenagers. The lawsuit claims Meta misled consumers about platform safety, collected children’s personal data unlawfully, and used features like autoplay and notifications to increase engagement. The trial, starting today in Oakland, California, seeks billions of dollars in damages and demands platform changes to improve child privacy protections.
