Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, now faces a plethora of lawsuits from US states, which have blamed the technology giant for mental health issues among teenagers. On Tuesday, the claim was given a green light by a California federal judge, who dismissed the request by Meta to dismiss the claims.

Litigations are from over 30 states, which include California and New York, with a third one coming from Florida. “Enough said,” according to Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, was said by the states on potentially misleading statements by Meta to be moved forward with most of the claims while there is some protection afforded by a federal law known as Section 230 to online companies.

Apart from these class-action state cases, Meta, like other companies that share similar business models, also faces personal injury suits filed by individual litigants. The court did not dismiss those as well, and plaintiffs are still allowed to continue discovery and have the chance to take their cases to trial.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated that Meta should be liable for the harm that it has caused to the children not only in California but the entire United States. Lawyers who represent the plaintiffs with personal injury described the decision as very vicarious to young people who got into some trouble on account of addictive social media.

Meta said in a statement that the ruling was wrong and that the company has, in fact, been working hard to assist parents and teens by providing them with tools to better understand teenagers’ online activity and additional protections in its new Instagram product, “Teen Accounts.” A Google spokesperson countered that the complaints were false. The company claimed that it has always been keen on creating a safer experience for young users.

The states are seeking court orders to stop what they branded as illegal business practices by Meta and also requesting unspecified monetary damages. Several lawsuits have popped up against social media companies, alleging that their algorithms foster addiction and contribute to anxiety, depression, and body-image issues in the adolescent population without warning their users of these risks.

It will be interesting to note how Meta and other social media companies adapt with the rising issues of youth mental health problems as they hit higher levels of scrutiny, according to Reuters.
