AI GeneratedKansas Attorney General Chris Kobach discusses a bipartisan lawsuit involving 37 states against Meta for creating addictive features and harming children's mental health. He also details a recent legal victory blocking the federal government from requiring the registration of firearm suppressors.
Today is day one of the trial against Meta. More than half of U.S. states are participating in
suing the tech company, alleging its platforms are designed to addict young users. NDD's David
Lam reports from the courthouse. Opening statements for Meta's federal trial began in Oakland,
California. Now, this is the start of trials of cases targeting social media companies. Now,
in this trial, Meta faces California, Kentucky, Colorado, and New Jersey, but a total of 29 state
attorneys general are suing Meta. California deputy attorney general Megan O'Neill says
Meta platforms were designed for addiction. She cites internal Meta communications which
allege that young users are a focus for Meta. Apps in question are Instagram and Facebook.
The prosecutor also says throughout the trial, they will have mental health experts,
former Meta employees, and other state attorneys general testifying. She claims Meta puts profits
over the well-being of youth users and collects data of those under 13 years old. Meta's lawyer,
during his opening statement, admits there are challenges to age verification of minors.
He argues the company has made changes for kids, such as providing time management tools,
but plaintiffs still criticize Meta's efforts. He says Meta witnesses will also testify.
The lawsuit, initially filed in 2023, comes as tech companies face pressures over their
products' impact on youth. The former engineering director at Facebook also testifying on Tuesday.
He's a whistleblower that alleges Meta encourages a culture of see no evil, hear no evil.
Now, the judge is Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers, who also presided over the Elon Musk v. OpenAI trial.
Now, this Meta trial is expected to last about six to eight weeks long.
