\n Dozens of states sued Instagram-parent Meta on Tuesday, accusing the social media giant of harming young users\u2019 mental health through allegedly addictive features such as infinite news feeds and frequent notifications that demand users\u2019 constant attention.\n <\/p>\n

\n In a federal lawsuit filed in California by more than 30 attorneys general, the states allege that Meta\u2019s products have harmed minors and contributed to a mental health crisis in the United States.\n <\/p>\n

\n Tuesday\u2019s multipronged legal assault marks the newest attempt by states to rein in large tech platforms over fears that social media companies are fueling a spike in youth depression and suicidal ideation.\n <\/p>\n

\n It follows a raft of legislation in states ranging from Arkansas to Louisiana that clamp down on social media by establishing new requirements for online platforms that wish to serve teens and children, such as mandating that they obtain a parent\u2019s consent before creating an account for a minor, or that they verify users\u2019 ages.\n <\/p>\n

\n In some cases, the tech industry has challenged those laws in court \u2014 for example, by claiming that Arkansas\u2019 social media law violates residents\u2019 First Amendment rights to access information.\n <\/p>\n

\n This is a breaking news story. It will be updated<\/em>\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
