Meta reaches settlement in major lawsuit over platform impact on youth
Meta has resolved a significant legal battle involving 29 US states, which accused Facebook and Instagram of being engineered to create addiction in minors, deceiving users regarding safety, and mishandling private data. A loss in this case could have resulted in fines matching the company's total market worth and forced a restructuring of how both social media sites operate. A former official at Meta had previously alleged that the company was aware of the negative effects on user health but chose to overlook them.
