Twenty-nine states are launching the largest consumer protection lawsuit in U.S. history against Meta, accusing the company of intentionally designing Facebook and Instagram to addict kids and worsen youth mental health — with a staggering $1.4 trillion demand. The suit targets addictive features like infinite scrolling, autoplay, and disappearing posts, while calling for parental controls, algorithmic changes, and removal of appearance-altering filters. Meta defends itself by claiming it’s already built teen protections — even before lawsuits began. With CEO Mark Zuckerberg set to testify and a judge with major tech case experience presiding, this trial could reshape how social media platforms operate — especially as TikTok and YouTube face similar scrutiny over their impact on young users.
