Meta muss sich mit Klagen aus US-Bundesstaaten wegen der Social-Media-Sucht von Teenagern auseinandersetzen

A federal judge ruled that Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, must face lawsuits from over 30 US states. These states claim Meta’s addictive platforms harm teens’ mental health.

The judge found enough evidence to let most of the lawsuits continue, even though she set some limits on what the states can claim. The lawsuits aim to stop what they see as harmful practices and seek damages for the mental health issues linked to social media.
