A teenager is suing Meta after ' addictive ' Instagram left her with 'permanent mental and emotional damages' alongside 'likely' long-term physical issues.
Alexis Spence, 19, got her first Instagram account when she was 11, despite the platform's minimum age requirement being 13, and her mental health deteriorated shortly thereafter.
It has been claimed that the social media app's artificial intelligence algorithm steered the young girl to accounts that glorified eating disorders and self-harm.
