Four U.S. states are seeking approximately $1.4 trillion in penalties from Meta Platforms over allegations that Facebook and Instagram were designed to addict young users and that the company misled the public about platform safety.

Twenty-nine states have sued Meta in federal court, most alleging violations of the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act for collecting children's data without parental consent. An additional 14 states have filed claims under their own laws, set for a separate trial in February 2027.

New Mexico was the first state to take similar claims to trial, with a jury awarding $375 million in March after finding Meta had misled consumers. A judge is now weighing additional damages and possible changes to Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
