"Zuckerberg Found Not Liable in Social Media Harm to Children"


A federal judge has ruled that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, cannot be held personally liable in ongoing lawsuits accusing the company of endangering children by promoting social media addiction. On Thursday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers dismissed claims suggesting Zuckerberg had a central role in concealing the mental health risks associated with Facebook and Instagram for young users. The plaintiffs, who represent children from several states, alleged that Zuckerberg ignored internal warnings about the potential dangers of social media and downplayed its harmful effects on children’s well-being.

In her ruling, Judge Rogers determined that the plaintiffs failed to provide sufficient evidence directly linking Zuckerberg to the alleged misconduct. She clarified that being in control of a company does not automatically make an executive personally responsible for the actions of the company. The judge emphasized that the plaintiffs did not prove that Zuckerberg intentionally participated in or contributed to the risks posed by Facebook and Instagram to young users.

Despite this decision, the broader lawsuits against Meta Platforms are still ongoing. The case against the company itself remains active, with the plaintiffs continuing to pursue their claims that Meta's social media platforms contribute to addiction and mental health issues among children and teenagers.
