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. With whistleblowers coming forward and Congress discussing kid safety bills, these rulings may lead to substantial changes in how tech companies target young users.
