Meta is accused of halting a study showing Facebook's negative mental health effects, as it faces a potential £1.05 trillion penalty from four US states over addictiveness claims.
I work at Meta. They’ll spend 1/10,000th of that on lawyers and lobbying instead. There’s a zero point zero percent change that even a fraction of this gets paid.
And the states suing know that too - it’s just politicians trying to grab headlines.
Also it’s generally understood that these lawsuits are just ways for countries to get money from Meta, since it looks a lot better than saying you’re taxing the social media giants
