Suing Meta

Meta has run into problems since it was introduced by Mark Zuckerberg. Now, in addition to its financial and public image trouble, it's being sued by forty-one states. 

This is a big deal. Their claim is that "that Meta knew its “addictive” features were harmful and intentionally misled the public about the safety of its platform." The Attorney General of the state of California says, "Meta has been harming our children and teens, cultivating addiction to boost corporate profits.” 

According to the lawsuit, "Meta designed and deployed harmful and psychologically manipulative product features to induce young users’ compulsive and extended Platform use."

Meta is in the crosshairs of the attorneys general of 41 of America's 50 states. That's a lot of firepower.
