State Attorneys General Sue Meta Over Alleged Harm to Young Users' Mental Health from Instagram

Dozens of state attorneys general sued Meta, accusing it of harming young users' mental health through addictive Instagram features.

The federal lawsuit alleges Meta exploited kids' vulnerabilities for profit and contributed to the youth mental health crisis.

The suit seeks court orders prohibiting Meta from violating consumer protection laws and financial penalties.

Eight more states filed similar lawsuits against Meta in state courts over its impact on teens.

Florida also sued Meta separately in federal court, claiming it misled users about potential health risks.
