Meta is facing a major lawsuit from several U.S. states that accuse the company of designing Facebook and Instagram to be addictive for young users and misleading the public about their safety. If the states prevail, potential penalties could theoretically reach $1.4 trillion based on the number of alleged violations. Meta denies the claims, arguing that “social media addiction” is not a recognized medical condition. The case is part of a broader series of legal challenges, including other state and federal lawsuits related to children’s online safety and privacy.
