Dozens Of U.S. States Sue Meta Over Youth Mental Health Crisis

Dear readers,

Dozens of U.S. states have opened up a lawsuit against the Instagram-parent company Meta, formerly known as Facebook, claiming it is harming young people’s mental health by purposely designing “addictive” features on its platforms.

33 states, including California, New York, Tennessee, and Indiana are involved in the widespread lawsuit.

Nine other AG’s also filed in their respective states, bringing the total number of states involved up to 42.

Based on Meta’s own research, the lawsuit accuses the social media giant of designing features — such as infinite newsfeeds and frequent notifications — to exploit and addict minors whose brains are still developing.
