"Indeed, Meta says that various legal cases in this area have " selectively cited Meta's internal documents to construct a misleading narrative," which suggests that Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp have harmed teens, and that Meta has prioritized growth over their well-being."

Meta asserts that multiple legal cases have selectively cited internal documents to construct a misleading narrative. Allegations imply that Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp have harmed teenagers and that the company prioritized growth over adolescent well-being. Public concern has escalated beyond courts and media, reaching the political sphere.

The combined legal, reputational, and political pressure increases scrutiny of platform practices and intensifies debate over regulation, corporate responsibility, and safeguards for youth on social media.
