Meta disregarded its own research on teen harm, Tennessee tells jury

The lawsuit, filed ​by Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti's office, seeks financial penalties and a court order directing Instagram to modify aspects of the platform that the state says are harmful to teens' mental health. If the jury finds the company liable, the trial will enter a second phase before the judge overseeing the trial, who will decide whether to order the ⁠company to ‌pay financial penalties and make changes to Instagram to make it safer for teens.
