The Meta Trial: A Watershed Moment for Social Media Accountability California Attorney General Rob Bonta's high stakes lawsuit against Meta, joined by 28 other states, aims to hold the company accountable for its alleged manipulation of user data, particularly that of children under 13.
In a recent press conference, Bonta emphasized that this is not a damages case but rather one focused on civil penalties, restitution, and distortion.
The case centers around Meta's handling of personal data from minors, which has sparked widespread concern about the company's impact on children's well being.
