Meta’s trial over alleged teen social media addiction is set to begin, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg expected to testify. Attorneys general from California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey sued in 2023, accusing Facebook and Instagram of harming young users and misleading the public about risks. Meta says the states’ requested penalties could be as high as $1.4 trillion, close to the company’s market capitalization. A New Mexico state court previously ordered Meta to pay $567 million and overhaul teen protections on Facebook and Instagram.
