Meta is set to face trial in Tennessee on Monday over claims that Instagram’s design contributed to the youth mental health crisis. The case is one of several trials scheduled in the coming weeks that will test allegations that the company’s social media platforms were intentionally designed to be addictive. Tennessee accuses Meta of violating the state’s consumer protection law by knowingly implementing design features that encourage compulsive use among teenagers while misleading the public about their safety.The trial is expected to last about seven weeks and will overlap with at least two other trials against Meta in California, where the company faces thousands of lawsuits over similar allegations in both state and federal courts. Why is Meta facing several court battles almost at the same time?
