Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Instagram And Facebook Face Major Changes In Meta Child Privacy Trial
Caption: Instagram And Facebook Face Major Changes In Meta Child Privacy Trial. Meta faces a major U.S. trial over allegations that Instagram and Facebook violated children's privacy laws and harmed young users. The lawsuit, filed by 30 U.S. states including California and New York, could potentially expose Meta to more than $1 trillion in financial penalties. The states are also seeking fundamental changes to Instagram and Facebook, including removing like counts and ending infinite scrolling for young users. Other proposed measures include parental verification for teenagers, changes to recommendation algorithms and the removal of some appearance-altering image filters. The states also want Meta to end video autoplay and disappearing posts such as Instagram Stories, and prevent young users from creating multiple accounts. The lawsuit alleges Meta deliberately designed features to keep children and teenagers using its platforms frequently and for longer periods. Meta denies the allegations, saying it has a longstanding commitment to supporting young people and is confident the evidence will support its position. The case follows a separate New Mexico ruling that fined Meta $942 million and ordered changes including removing like counts for users under 18, although Meta plans to appeal.
