Meta owns the famous apps Instagram and Facebook. Now, 30 American states are taking Meta to court. These states say that Meta is not safe for young people.
Many teenagers spend too much time on their phones. The states want Meta to change its apps. They want Meta to stop showing like counts.
They also want to stop video autoplay. Meta says its apps are safe. The company does not agree with the states.
However, a judge in California will decide soon. This trial is very important for kids. Meta can lose this trial.
Then, social media will look very different. The apps can become safer for everyone. We will see the results next year.
