Meta Platforms

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments on Dec. 5 in Attorney General Andrea Campbell’s 2024 lawsuit alleging Meta designed Facebook and Instagram features to addict teens. State Solicitor David Kravitz said the case targets engagement tools like notifications, while Meta’s attorney Mark Mosier argued the claims would penalize traditional publishing functions protected by the First Amendment; justices’ questions focused on attention‑driving features rather than content moderation. The case comes amid broader state and federal litigation accusing Meta of knowingly deploying addictive design elements for young users.
