Illinois is one of 33 states joining a federal lawsuit against Meta Platforms, the company that owns the popular social media platforms Facebook and Instagram.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the federal district court for the Northern District of California, alleges the Menlo Park, California-based company has engaged in deceptive business practices that have “profoundly altered the psychological and social realities of a generation of young Americans” and ignored the “sweeping damage” its social media platforms have had on kids.
