Meta Platforms Inc. is facing a lawsuit from 34 state attorneys general, claiming that it knowingly contributes to a youth mental health crisis by getting kids hooked on social media.
Despite research linking Facebook and Instagram usage to mental health issues like depression, Meta allegedly refuses to remove harmful features that could mitigate these problems.
U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is allowing certain claims against Meta to proceed, amid hundreds of lawsuits regarding social media's impact on young people's mental health.
A Meta spokesperson stated that they disagree with the ruling but acknowledged the dismissal of some claims, emphasizing their tools to support parents and teens.
