Judge Blocks Meta’s Legal Escape | US News

Meta’s legal nightmare just got bigger as a federal judge rejected their bid to dismiss a massive lawsuit from state attorneys general accusing them of knowingly designing social platforms to addict kids and hiding the risks. The judge, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, ruled Meta can’t sweep deceptive practices under the rug, upholding claims of unfair conduct and violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

With no public comment yet from Meta, this ruling signals the case is far from over—and could reshape how big tech is held accountable for harming young users.
