A federal lawsuit claims certain social media platforms are designed to be addictive, particularly for young users. The lawsuit alleges that these platforms hide known mental health risks and harvest data from children under 13 without parental consent.

Meta, the company behind the platforms, denies these allegations and points to new safety measures as evidence of its commitment. The lawsuit seeks significant changes to the platforms' algorithms.

Further details about the lawsuit and Meta's response are available from the source, including information about the lawsuit's potential impact on social media.
