Instagram’s slick design, endless feed, and non-stop notifications aren’t just by accident — and now Meta is being called out for it in court. A major class action lawsuit filed by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell alleges that Meta built Instagram in ways that deliberately make it addictive to children, knowing full well the mental health risks involved.

The lawsuit points directly at features like infinite scroll and autoplay, accusing Meta of creating a platform that’s hard for young users to put down. Legal experts say the case is strong because it zeroes in on Meta’s corporate behavior, not user-generated content. That distinction is important: it makes it harder for Meta to claim immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

Meta’s defense so far has been to argue that the lawsuit violates its First Amendment rights. However, the lawsuit’s real issue isn’t about limiting Meta’s speech — it’s about the company allegedly lying about Instagram’s safety to parents, users, and even Congress. According to the lawsuit, Meta had internal data that showed Instagram could harm kids but still publicly claimed the platform was safe.

There’s also a major point around Meta’s failure to enforce its own minimum age rules. Despite the company’s public stance against underage use, the lawsuit argues that Instagram doesn’t do enough to keep kids under 13 off the app.

This legal battle comes at a time when the tech world is under more scrutiny than ever. Although some similar claims against Meta and other platforms were thrown out recently in a different case, experts believe this lawsuit stands a better chance because it focuses so clearly on Meta’s business practices rather than blaming individual posts.

If you or your child have experienced mental health issues potentially linked to platforms like Instagram, you may even qualify to join an ongoing class action investigation. No matter how this case plays out, it’s clear that the conversation around social media and youth mental health isn’t going away anytime soon.
