A group of 42 attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against Meta, accusing it of “knowingly damaging” the mental health of American teens. The lawsuit says that Facebook and Instagram have profoundly altered the “psychological and social realities of a generation of young Americans.”

Caffeine is addicting, so is chocolate. They both also effect people health negatively. People really need to wake up. You have states that are supposed to be for the people sueing companies for a product that is being sold that are no more addictive than caffeine or chocolate.
The best solution is to remove the short videos that are popping everywhere, tiktok, IG, X, FB and Youtube. It's ruining people's lives in many ways. Information overload gone haywire, no mind can withstand the impact of so many stories at once and none making any sense in anyone's lives but to get a quick dopamine hit. People need to focus and get busy.
Is Texas one of those states.
TEACH YOUR KIDS PEOPLE
Dont let the corporations and government and religion do it!
This lawsuits are possibly lossing fight and already garbage?
Should people sue the cell phone companies too? After all, if it wasn’t for the fast and convenient of the cell phone, people won’t be addicted to these apps. Parents have a huge role on this. They are the one can control how much time their kids should be on and educating their kids about the pro and con of social media. Even if every social media platform puts out kids warning on their site, it still won’t stop kids getting into it, on least there is parent control. There are a lot of things we should come together and sue in the US. Like all the companies who pollute the water and air and companies who produce all the unhealthy foods and drinks. Let’s do that too!
Well at least the government has figured out the little sh1ts have some mental health issues, it's a bad day for Mark Zuckerberg even after he donated billions to get Biden elected. also George Soros is not having a good month with his whole liberal agenda backfiring on his entire race
=⟩ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray… God bless you as you share this message to others.
Funny how money is the compensation for lack of adult supervision
Definitely should be ban
Sue Monopoly Go next.
Parents fault not Meta.
Good idea
It took them long enough, Mark Z doesn’t care about mental health or America. PERIOD
Maybe parents should communicate with their kids better specially when it come to using social media.
I’m addicted to YouTube, can I sue 🤣
Whether for good or for ill, all things must come full circle.
Really. They're targeting Facebook in this day and age because "Won't you please think of the Children"
SOMEBODY is still living in 2013, not 2023, if they think that's where the 'kids' are.
Finished watching a Netflix special on vaping and e- cigarette devices.. and a major part of the documentary was on the effects on kids health, marketing and addiction.. and I have seen multiple people who are currently or were employed by social media companies that have inside knowledge of how these sites effect kids.. and we see study after study and stories upon stories about how kids have been ruined or killed by the effects of social media.. the only reason that this is still a thing is straight forward.. money.. billions of dollars.. it's like guns or fast food..the evidence is overwhelming that there is public health risk but the delicate balance must be kept because of the money.. so there is always an acceptable level of death and public health damage because we need the money
I asked AI for the solution to providing a fix to social media:
1. Ensure algorithm data is diverse, representative and balanced.
2. Remove bias, counterfactuals and adversarial learning.
3. Use ethical principles and guidelines that are fair, accountable and transparent.
Our kids and grandkids are turning into iPad zombies. And we are helpless to do much about it.
If you had an honest service then you wouldn’t need 30+ tools.
That's disturbing, and always has been an outrageous act of interference in a human minds. Psychological disturbed individuals.
I hope they win and catalyze changes
