Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is being sued by dozens of states, including California, over allegations that its social media platforms exploit youths for profit and harm their mental health. The states claim that Meta's addictive features target children and teens, pushing them into toxic and harmful content. The federal lawsuit accuses Meta of knowingly maximizing the attention that teen users spend on its platforms at the expense of their mental health. Meta has responded, expressing disappointment and stating that the attorneys general should have worked with industry companies to create clear, age-appropriate standards for apps used by teens.
