Four U.S. states (California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Mexico) are suing Meta in a California federal court, seeking billions of dollars in damages. The states accuse the tech giant of deliberately designing addictive features for children on Instagram and Facebook, contributing to the youth mental health crisis.
