Opening arguments set to begin in Meta's federal trial over child safety

Meta Platforms faces a federal trial in California where attorneys general from several states are seeking financial damages and operational changes for Facebook and Instagram. The lawsuit accuses the company of knowingly designing addictive features that contribute to youth mental health issues and illegally collecting data on children under 13 without parental consent. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers will oversee the proceedings, which are expected to last six to eight weeks.
