Episode Details

Tennessee is suing Meta over Instagram’s alleged design to manipulate teens, accusing the company of knowingly harming young users through addictive features like autoplay and endless notifications. Meta counters with safety tools and parental controls, arguing federal law shields them from liability for user-generated content. This high-stakes trial—set to last seven weeks in Nashville—could impose up to $1,000 per violation and may reshape how social media is regulated nationwide, as nearly every state has filed similar lawsuits. It’s the second state to take this legal route, following New Mexico, and could redefine corporate responsibility for teen mental health in the digital age.
