A bipartisan group of 33 attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against tech giant Meta in a federal court in California, alleging that the company has deliberately designed its social media platforms Instagram and Facebook to be addictive to children and teens. The lawsuit claims that Meta was motivated to keep children hooked in order to boost profits, and seeks to protect kids and teens from online harm. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit will affect Meta's business, but it is clear that state law enforcers are taking the issue seriously.
