Massachusetts Court Hears Meta Addiction Lawsuit

A court in Massachusetts heard arguments in a lawsuit against Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram.

The state says Meta designed its apps to be addictive to young users, making them use the platforms more to earn more money.

Meta says it's not doing anything wrong and that it's protected by the First Amendment.

The judges seemed more worried about how the apps send lots of notifications to make teens feel like they're missing out on things.

Other states have also sued Meta for similar reasons, and some reports say the apps can make teens feel worse about their mental health.

Meta says these reports are not accurate.
