Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers expressed skepticism over the jurisdictional claims made by Florida officials during a hearing concerning their lawsuit against Meta Platforms Inc., suggesting a preference for the case being heard in California.
The legal proceedings surrounding Meta reflect growing state and federal concerns regarding the impact of social media algorithms on minors, especially in light of evidence presented by former employee Frances Haugen.
Florida's lawsuit alleges that Meta not only violated privacy laws aimed at protecting children but also has contributed to social media addiction in teenagers, raising significant legal and ethical questions.
The ongoing multidistrict litigation before Judge Rogers emphasizes the collective action being taken by multiple states against Meta, spotlighting widespread accusations about the company prioritizing profit over the welfare of young users.
