A federal judge in California has ruled that Meta Platforms must face lawsuits brought by U.S. states. These lawsuits accuse the Facebook parent company of encouraging social media addiction among teenagers.
The legal challenge alleges that Meta purposely deployed features on its platforms to addict young users. This development opens the company to significant legal exposure and potential financial liabilities.
The ruling means Meta will proceed to trial to defend against claims that its products pose dangers to teenagers' mental health. This situation could lead to mandated changes in product design and operational practices.
