- Trial for 2023 lawsuit against social media giant Meta starts Tuesday
Colorado is joining dozens of states in a California lawsuit against Meta, claiming that its platforms are harming the mental health of young users. The 2023 suit alleges that Meta promotes addictive features and illegally collects personal data from kids under 13, violating COPPA. State officials state this action was taken because the company allegedly prioritized profits over the safety of minors.
