A court document from an ongoing federal lawsuit against Meta alleges that the company knowingly allowed children under the age of 13 to have Instagram accounts and collected their personal information without parental consent. Attorneys general from 33 states claim that Meta received over a million reports of under-13 users on Instagram but only disabled a fraction of those accounts. The lawsuit accuses Meta of violating state consumer protection laws and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA) by not obtaining parental consent for collecting personal information from children. The complaint also alleges that Meta's algorithm steered children towards harmful content that negatively impacted their well-being. Meta denies these allegations and states that verifying the age of people online is a complex challenge. The lawsuit seeks court orders to prohibit Meta from engaging in these practices and fines for each violation.
