Meta sued in Australia over social media effects on children

The law firm Minter Ellison has filed a class-action lawsuit in the Australian Federal Court against Meta, accusing it of exposing children to harmful content and making them addicted to their platforms, Facebook and Instagram, through algorithms. The suit involves eight plaintiffs who suffered damages when they were under 18 and are seeking compensation. This lawsuit comes amid a legal ban in Australia preventing children under 16 from using social media, as well as proposed regulations that would allow users to turn off algorithm-based content. In August, Meta agreed to pay $18 billion in a settlement of a U.S. lawsuit accusing it of designing addictive tools for children.
