Australia files lawsuit against Facebook and Instagram over children's social media harms
An Australian law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit against Facebook and Instagram, accusing them of exposing children to harmful content and making them addicted through the platforms' algorithms. The lawsuit involves eight claimants who suffered damages before the age of 18 and are seeking compensation, with legal measures in place to prevent the disclosure of the claimants' identities. This case comes amid tensions between Australia and tech companies, including a ban on social media for children under 16 and regulations to hold platforms accountable for algorithm-driven content.
