Arizona is among dozens of US states, including California and New York, that are suing Meta Platforms Inc. for harming young people’s mental health and contributing to the youth mental health crisis by knowingly designing features on Instagram and Facebook that addict children to its platforms.
In a press conference Tuesday, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said,"In short, Meta has profited from monetizing children's addiction to its platforms."There is a youth mental health crisis in America fueled by social media use, particularly young people’s extensive and compulsive use of Meta’s platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.
Meta must be held accountable for its irresponsible and damaging actions. In addition to the 33 states, nine other attorneys general are filing in their respective states, bringing the total number of states taking action to 42. “We’re disappointed that instead of working productively with companies across the industry to create clear, age-appropriate standards for the many apps teens use, the attorneys general have chosen this path,” the company added.
