Meta says US states are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties in August youth safety trial

Meta disclosed in a court filing that four states are seeking $1.4T in penalties over claims it designed Facebook/Instagram to be addictive for young users and misled the public about safety. The size of the proposed penalties is highly punitive and keeps legal/regulatory risk elevated. Near-term market impact is likely moderate as the outcome remains uncertain.
