Court papers say Meta discussed a "Whisper strategy" against Jonathan Haidt

Newly filed court papers show Meta discussed a "Whisper strategy" to "turn academics against Haidt" in March 2023. The source is an internal document called "Well-being Meeting Sound-check Notes." Haidt has blamed social media for rising teen depression and anxiety. The notes list proposals, but it is unclear whether Meta acted on them. Meta did not immediately respond.
