Children’s Privacy: Not far short of unanimous! Forty-one US states (and DC) sue Meta for harms to kids
While we don’t agree on much, there is laudable consensus behind a massive Meta lawsuit, which declares addicting kids to social platforms and causing a youth mental health crisis is deceitful and must be stopped. The lawsuit has been filed in California by 33 states and supported by 9 attorneys general and the District of Columbia. It claims that to maximize profit, Meta also misled the public about how dangerous its Instagram and Facebook platforms are and that it concealed how it manipulates children and teens.
