The parent company of Facebook and Instagram must face lawsuits filed by more than 30 states that accuse the outlets of encouraging teens to get addicted to social media, a judge ruled Tuesday.
In a 102-page order, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied motions by Meta Platforms to dismiss the cases, saying the company's "design, development, and deployment of certain product features plausibly constitutes unfair or unconscionable practices under all at-issue federal and state standards."
