$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ I'm no fan of Facebook and other vapid social media platforms. I think such platforms have engendered broad cultural and social dysfunctionality. That being said, I am doubtful that they have a legal liability for adolescent mental health issues just because their customers overuse the services.
These lawsuits seem analogous to claiming that $Mattel(MAT)$ is legally liable for things like bulimia and other female body image issues just because little girls played with Barbies incessantly.
The primary responsibility for moderating the use of social media platforms (or Barbie dolls) lies with parents, not with the companies that provide the products.
