✦AI Summary
Meta is facing a landmark federal trial brought by four states alleging that the company intentionally designed its platforms to be addictive for children. The case draws parallels to historical litigation against tobacco and opioid manufacturers, focusing on product design and data privacy violations.
Meta will head into federal court on Tuesday to fend off accusations from a group of state attorneys general that it designed its social media platforms to hook children, lied to the public about the risks those platforms posed and gathered data on kids in violation of the law.
