Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is facing serious allegations including collecting children's data, refusing to close under 13 Instagram accounts, and ignoring reports of underage kids using its platforms. A lawsuit alleges that Mark Zuckerberg vetoed a proposal to ban filters simulating plastic surgery effects, despite concerns about their impact on girls' mental health. Additionally, a legal complaint accuses Meta of purposefully addicting children. The company is also accused of downplaying the spread of self-harm images among teen Instagram users. These allegations have led to a US federal judge allowing the FTC to limit Meta's profiting off children.
