Lawsuit Claims Meta Knew Instagram Was Harming Teens but Kept Addictive Features A lawsuit unfolding in Tennessee against Meta alleges that the company knowingly exploited its platform to hook teenagers on social media, disregarding research on the devastating consequences.
The complaint, brought by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, seeks financial penalties and a court order forcing Meta to revamp Instagram's features that allegedly harm young minds.
Meta is facing lawsuits in nearly every U. S. state over claims its platforms contribute to poor mental health among children and teens.
