MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — A bipartisan group of 42 attorneys general is suing Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.
Wisconsin AG Josh Kaul says social media use is having harmful impacts on kids mental health and well being.
“We’ve alleged that there are violations of our state consumer protection laws as well as federal laws,” said Kaul. “And so the many states that are involved in these actions are working collaboratively to seek a meaningful remedy that ultimately will keep our kids safer from the impacts of social media use.”
The states are seeking an end to what they see as Meta’s harmful practices, as well as yet to be specified financial penalties and restitution. Meta is now facing multiple lawsuits on this issue.
