Meta will face a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a California federal court trial beginning on Wednesday over claims it engineered Facebook and Instagram to be addictive to children, misled consumers about their safety, and illegally collected and used children's data. The trial, expected to last seven weeks, will test Colorado, Kentucky, California and New Jersey's allegations and address claims by 29 states. Jury selection is on Wednesday, with opening statements slated to begin August 18. Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is expected to testify, as is Instagram head Adam Mosseri. The trial could force Meta to make sweeping changes to its platforms and potentially face massive damages.
