Meta defends its child safety efforts but critics say the social media giant falls short

Meta is defending its child safety measures in a California federal court against multiple lawsuits. These legal actions, including claims from four states, allege that the social media giant contributes to the youth mental health crisis. Critics argue that Meta deliberately designed features to harm children and teenagers, while the company insists it has a long history of protecting its youngest customers. The legal battle focuses on whether Meta's business practices pose significant risks to minors.
