Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is required to confront lawsuits from U.S. states claiming that its platforms contribute to teen mental health issues by promoting addictive behaviors. A federal judge in California has allowed these lawsuits to proceed while dismissing some claims under federal law. The lawsuits target both Meta and other social media companies, accusing them of designing algorithms that negatively affect adolescents' mental health. The states seek court orders against Meta's practices and unspecified damages.
