Florida Seeks Court Order to Enforce Stricter Teen Protections on Meta Platforms
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit seeking a court order to compel Meta Platforms to implement stricter protections for users under 14 on Facebook and Instagram. The requested measures include limiting teen usage to two hours daily, disabling autoplay and infinite scroll features, and removing underage users. Meta, which settled similar claims with most other states, criticized Florida's action as redundant and urged focus on other platforms. The lawsuit alleges Meta knowingly designed addictive features harmful to teens.
