Meta faces a major legal showdown as four states accuse the company of intentionally designing Instagram and Facebook to addict young users, while secretly collecting data from kids under thirteen despite internal research showing harm. Meta counters that its studies were meant to improve the platform and claims it removed over a million underage accounts. CEO Mark Zuckerberg proposes age checks as a fix. This trial could set a precedent for 24 other states, with potential penalties up to $1.4 trillion—and may force sweeping changes to addictive features like infinite scrolling. With recent payouts and lawsuits already mounting, social media giants are under intense scrutiny for their impact on youth mental health.
