Instagram trial challenges Meta's child strategy
Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, is facing a U.S. federal lawsuit accusing it of designing its platforms in a way that encourages children and adolescents to overuse them and become addicted, while failing to take sufficient measures to protect them from potential psychological and physical harm. The lawsuit alleges that the company collected data from children under the age of 13 and violated laws by exploiting features designed to increase usage time, leading to issues such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. The court is expected to last six to eight weeks, following testimonies from former officials and employees. Meta denies these allegations, claiming they are an exaggerated portrayal of the relationship between usage and harm, and emphasizes that it follows policies aimed at protecting underage users.
