Meta ignored teen harm research in lawsuit
In a lawsuit filed by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti’s office, the state is seeking financial penalties against Meta (formerly Facebook) and an order directing Instagram to improve teen safety measures. The suit alleges that Meta ignored its own research indicating harmful effects of social media on young people. This comes after Meta's internal studies found similar risks but failed to implement changes as recommended.
