On October 24, 2023, 41 US states sued Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, alleging that its social media platforms are addicting and harmful to young people's mental health. The lawsuit alleges that Meta designed its products to keep users engaged for as long as possible, even though it knew that this could have negative consequences for their mental well-being.
The lawsuit specifically cites a number of features of Facebook and Instagram that it says are addictive, including infinite scrolling, the use of likes and comments to validate users, and the way that the platforms algorithms are designed to keep users hooked. The lawsuit also alleges that Meta has misled the public about the dangers of its platforms, and has knowingly induced young children and teenagers into addictive and compulsive social media use.
The lawsuit is seeking a number of remedies, including:
An injunction requiring Meta to change its business practices to make its platforms safer for young people.
A declaration that Meta has violated consumer protection laws.
Financial damages to compensate states for the costs of treating young people who have been harmed by Meta's products.
Meta has denied the allegations in the lawsuit, and has said that it is committed to protecting the well-being of its users. The company has also said that it has taken a number of steps to make its platforms safer for young people, such as limiting the amount of time that users under the age of 18 can spend on the platform, and providing more resources for parents to help their children use social media safely.
The lawsuit is still in its early stages, and it is unclear how long it will take to resolve. However, the case could have significant implications for Meta and other social media companies, and could force them to make changes to their products and business practices.
The outcome of this lawsuit could have a major impact on the way that social media companies are regulated and how they operate. If the states are successful, it could set a precedent for future lawsuits against Meta and other social media companies, and could lead to new regulations governing the way that these platforms are designed and used.
