Meta trial starts in US over platform reforms
The article discusses a U.S. state's initiation of a lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc., accusing its platforms Facebook and Instagram of designs that harm the mental health of children and teenagers, encouraging addictive use, and concealing the risks associated with these platforms for young users. The allegations include illegal collection of personal data and its use in ways that infringe on privacy rights. Meta denies these claims and affirms its investments in measures to protect children. The lawsuit could result in fines amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars and lead to significant changes in how the platforms operate, with testimony from top company executives expected. This trial is considered the largest judicial test of social media's impact on children and highlights the risks threatening the mental health of young users.
