Tennessee's Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti alleges Meta violated consumer protection law by misleading the public and concealing internal research showing Instagram's harm to teenagers. The state seeks financial penalties and a court order to modify Instagram features like autoplay, Reels, and notifications, which are deemed detrimental to teen mental health. Meta denies the claims, asserting it has implemented safety controls for teens and is protected by federal law (Section 230) from liability for user-generated content. This trial is part of a broader legal challenge against Meta, with similar lawsuits across nearly every U.S. state, including a New Mexico case that resulted in a $375 million award against the company.
