Facebook and Instagram owner Mark Zuckerberg successfully avoided personal liability in 25 lawsuits that alleged Meta Platforms Inc. and other social media firms were responsible for addicting children to their platforms.
In a ruling issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, who is presiding over the lawsuits, sided with Meta's CEO, dismissing Zuckerberg as an individual defendant. However, the order does not impact the claims against Meta as a corporation.
