California Prosecutor Accuses Meta of Exploiting Children's Brains

A prosecutor told a court that Meta did not do enough to protect children.

She said the company cared more about making money than about children's health.

She also said Meta understood how children's brains work and used that knowledge to keep them hooked.

The prosecutor said this happened on Facebook and Instagram.

She accused Meta of telling the public that the platforms were safer than they really were.

These statements were made during the beginning of a court case.

The arguments took place in Oakland, California.

Meta's side of the story was not included in the article.
