I’m suing Meta for harming the mental and physical health of youth across
the country — and new unsealed records further reveal how Meta knew they
were hurting kids, and didn’t care.
Yesterday, previously redacted information in the federal lawsuit against
Meta was unsealed, and the details are damning.
We already knew Meta designed and deployed harmful features on Facebook
and Instagram that caused mental and physical detriment to children and
teens. But now we know:
* Mark Zuckerberg personally vetoed Meta’s proposed policy to ban image
filters that simulated the effects of plastic surgery;
* Meta set explicit goals of increasing “time spent” and meticulously
tracked engagement metrics, including among teen users;
* Meta continuously misrepresented that its social media platforms were
safe, while internal data revealed that users experienced harm on its
platforms at far higher rates;
* Meta knows that its social media platforms are used by millions of
children under 13 and unlawfully collects their personal information —
despite Zuckerberg testifying before Congress in 2021 that Meta “kicks
off” children under 13.
Meta is knowingly profiting off of getting kids, teens, and young adults
addicted to their social media platforms and exposing them to harmful
content. I’m fighting to stop them.

especially our children. Will you support me in this fight with a
grassroots donation of $5 or more before Thursday’s
end-of-month deadline?
