Brazil Institute wants $525M from Meta, TikTok & Kwai for harms to minors

Just months after Musk’s X was banned (though now reinstated) in Brazil for social media overreach, the country’s Collective Defense Institute filed two lawsuits against Brazilian divisions of TikTok, Kwai (a social video site) and Meta. The group is seeking 3 billion reais (US$525.27 million) claiming the companies harm minors by encouraging platform addiction.
