On June 30, Reuters reported that a federal judge in Oakland, California, rejected Meta Platforms Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) attempt to dismiss a lawsuit filed by dozens of US state attorneys general, who accuse the company of intentionally designing Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children while hiding the resulting harm from the public.
Lawsuit Details US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers issued the ruling late on Monday night. The judge denied Meta's motion to dismiss claims tied to deception, unfair business practices, and violations of the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
