Meta Ignored Internal Findings on Instagram's Risks to Teens, Jury Told in Trial The recent trial in Nashville has shed a damning light on Meta's priorities.
The case, brought by Tennessee lawyers against the company for allegedly ignoring internal research on Instagram's harm to teenagers, reveals the systemic nature of social media giants' obsession with profit over people.
Tennessee's Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti's office is seeking financial penalties and a court order that would require Meta to modify aspects of Instagram's platform deemed hazardous to teens' mental health.
