New Mexico Sues Meta Over How Apps Are Designed, Not What Users Post

New Mexico's attorney general sued Meta in December 2023, focusing on platform design choices—the algorithms that decide what you see, notifications that keep you scrolling—rather than user posts. The claim: these design decisions directly harm young people's mental health. This marks a shift in how courts may hold tech companies accountable, moving beyond content to the engineering choices that shape how we use these platforms.
