Meta Faces $1.4 Trillion Blow in Youth Social Media Trial

A big company called Meta, which owns apps like Instagram, is going to court.

The court case is about how these apps affect young people.

This is a very important trial, and people are calling it historic.

The company might have to pay a huge amount of money, up to $1.4 trillion.

That is so much money it is almost as much as the whole company is worth.

The trial is starting very soon.

First, a group of regular people, called a jury, will be chosen on Wednesday.

Then, on August 18, 2026, the lawyers will begin explaining their side of the story.

The boss of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, and the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, will also be at the trial.

Many people will be watching to see what happens next.
