A trial against Meta is set to begin on Monday in Santa Fe, Mexico. The lawsuit, filed by Attorney General Raúl Torrez, alleges that Meta's platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, are designed to be addictive for young users and fail to protect them from harm. The case claims that Meta's algorithms keep younger audiences engaged for longer periods and do not do enough to prevent online abuse. The state is seeking billions of dollars in damages and major changes to Meta's apps, including age verification and disabling autoplay for minors. Meta has denied the allegations, stating that it has introduced safety measures for teenagers. The outcome may force Meta to change its policies or potentially pull services out of the state, with implications for social media platforms worldwide.
