Youth Harm Liability

Ongoing trials and lawsuits over Instagram's impact on teens: Tennessee trial, multi-state addiction trial seeking $1.4T, new wrongful death lawsuit against Meta, TikTok, Google. Meta's internal documents cited. US child safety rules advancing add to regulatory pressure. Major development: New Mexico court orders $567M payment and platform design changes (banner screens, age verification improvements, under-13 prediction model). Appeal expected. This sets a precedent and increases financial and operational risk.
