A bipartisan coalition of 42 attorneys general is suing Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, alleging that these platforms have addictive features targeting children and teenagers. The lawsuit, filed in multiple districts, indicates a significant legal challenge to Meta’s business. Attorneys general from 33 states filed a federal suit in California, while nine others filed in their own states.
This legal action underscores the bipartisan effort to protect young users from online harm. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti emphasized the rare unity among attorneys general from both parties, highlighting the seriousness of the issue in the context of current American polarization.
