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

The federal court trial covered claims by the attorneys general of Colorado, California, Kentucky, and New Jersey that Meta violated their state laws protecting consumers.

The report comes during a federal court trial in California over claims brought by 29 states, in what is one ​of the highest-profile tests of allegations that social media companies have harmed ​young users.
