Meta, US states have discussed settling teen social media harm case, Bloomberg News reports

Meta is reportedly in discussions with state attorneys general about a potential mid-trial settlement of the lawsuit alleging Facebook and Instagram were deliberately designed to be addictive for young users. The talks, reported by Bloomberg, suggest an effort to resolve the matter without a full verdict, but the allegations continue to pose reputational and regulatory overhang risk. The news is likely to be more sentiment-driven than directly financial in the near term.
