Tennessee Accuses Meta of Ignoring Research on Instagram's Harm to Teens
In a trial in Nashville, Tennessee's attorneys accused Meta Platforms of disregarding internal research indicating that Instagram negatively impacts teenagers' mental health. The state's lawyers argued that Meta prioritized profit over safety by not disabling features like autoplay and infinite scroll, which encourage prolonged use. Meta's attorney countered that the company is transparent about risks and works to address issues. The lawsuit seeks financial penalties and changes to Instagram to protect teens. This case is part of broader litigation against Meta, with similar lawsuits filed across the U.S.
