Meta’s social media platforms are under fire in court for allegedly designing addictive features that harm teen mental health, despite rolling out safety tools like restricted messaging, content warnings, and “Take a Break” prompts — but critics argue these measures are too little, too late, especially since internal testimony suggests the company knew how to better identify underage users.
