Attorneys for Meta Platforms and its current and former leaders, including founder Mark Zuckerberg, are seeking the dismissal of a shareholder lawsuit accusing the company of neglecting to safeguard users from human trafficking and child sexual exploitation on its social media platforms.
The lawsuit, filed by investment funds, asserts that Meta's directors and executives were aware of the prevalence of human trafficking and child exploitation on Facebook and Instagram but did not take adequate measures to address the issue.
