With two convictions and nearly $1 billion in damages already stacked up, Meta will face another trial starting this week about alleged harms to children in a case brought by four U.S. states.
The federal trial, one of the most consequential among a myriad of legal proceedings targeting social networks in the United States, will begin tomorrow with jury selection at a federal court in Oakland, near San Francisco.
Opening statements are expected to start next week on Aug.18, with the trial lasting for roughly six weeks, followed by a verdict in early October.
