Meta is currently being sued in the United States, where it is said that social platforms under them such as Facebook and Instagram contribute to mental health problems among youth users.
A number of states in the United States filed suit against Meta. It is said that Meta has not been honest with the public users about the dangers brought by their products like Facebook and Instagram.
The platform under Meta is said to contribute to mental health problems, including through a model that maximizes user engagement with the platform, encouraging users to "Like" and comment, in addition to being slow or failing to remove bullying content.
Speaking about the filing of this lawsuit, Meta stated that they were disappointed because the relevant parties did not cooperate in developing appropriate industry standards and instead took steps to file a lawsuit. At the same time, Meta also stated that it provides a number of features to support youth and families on their platform in providing a positive user experience.
