Meta faces significant legal blows over its apps impact on childrens safety, with a $375 million fine from New Mexico and a $6 million penalty from a Los Angeles jury. These cases highlight the use of addictive design elements and could pave the way for numerous similar lawsuits and investigations by state attorneys general. Internal memos reveal Metas awareness of the negative effects of heavy use, yet they continued to employ sneaky tactics to maximize engagement.
