US Supreme Court won't hear Meta's challenge to Vermont social media addiction lawsuit

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Meta’s appeal, so Vermont can move forward with its lawsuit accusing Instagram of being designed to addict young users.
Vermont’s attorney general says Instagram exploited teenagers’ developing brains and misled the public; Meta denies targeting kids and argues suing it in Vermont is unfair.
The case is part of a nationwide wave of legal action and recent rulings against Meta over youth safety and alleged platform harms.
