Several US states are concerned that the mental health of their young users is under threat from social media platforms. Over 40 US states have sued Meta for platforms like Facebook and Instagram. They claim that the social media company is knowingly and deliberately hurting the mental condition of children. The platforms, owned by Meta, have been accused of designing features that could potentially harm children’s mental health. According to the complainants, “Meta has harnessed powerful and unprecedented technologies to entice, engage, and ultimately ensnare youth and teens. Its motive is profit, and in seeking to maximize its financial gains, Meta has repeatedly misled the public about the substantial dangers of its social media platforms,” the complaint says. Meta responded to the accusations by claiming that it was disappointed with the case. To justify that, Meta has claimed it has introduced over 30 tools just to support teens and families.
