Meta’s social media platforms are under fire from four states over allegations they’re engineered to addict young users, sparking a billion-dollar legal battle and igniting debate over whether the very design of Instagram and Facebook—loaded with infinite scroll and push notifications—is harming teen mental health. While Meta defends its child safety measures like comment filters, teen account restrictions, and suicide-prevention resources, critics say these tools are often broken or ignored. Former employees and experts argue that voluntary time-management features are designed to fail, and that Meta’s profit-driven model inherently conflicts with protecting kids. This lawsuit marks a pivotal moment: could social media be legally classified as defective products? The pressure may force sweeping industry-wide changes.
