Meta's historic trial over youth coercion
Meta Platforms faces a historic trial in the U.S. federal court in Oakland, charged with designing its Facebook and Instagram platforms to increase addictive and compulsive usage among young users. The prosecution is seeking fines totaling up to one and a half trillion dollars, along with court orders to modify platform features, ban infinite scrolling and follow features, and address data collection from minors. The trial, which will last five weeks, includes testimony from top executives amid global pressures on social media companies to regulate their operations and protect users, especially children and teenagers.
