Meta’s big trial just kicked off in California, with four states accusing the company of designing social media to addict teens — using internal emails and whistleblower testimony to back up claims of a “hook, hold, harvest, and hide” strategy. Meta denies wrongdoing, calling the evidence cherry-picked, while key former employees testify that growth trumped safety and efforts were made to reduce addiction. A major early win: the court ruled Meta violated COPPA by failing to get parental consent for kids under 13. The case could drag on for weeks, with Mark Zuckerberg possibly taking the stand — and the world watching closely as tech’s biggest player faces legal consequences for its impact on young minds.
