See here: More than three dozen states are suing the parent company of Instagram and Facebook over fears that its platforms’ “addictive” features are harming teens’ mental health.
In a federal lawsuit filed in California, 33 attorneys general allege that Meta’s products have harmed minors and contributed to a mental health crisis in the United States.
Eight additional attorneys general sued Meta in state courts, making similar claims.
And the state of Florida sued the company in its own federal lawsuit alleging it misled users about potential health risks.
The federal complaint filed in California calls for court orders prohibiting Meta from violating the law and, in the case of many states, unspecified financial penalties.
