‘A critical moment’: US Supreme Court lets Vermont continue suit claiming Meta hid harms to youth

The US Supreme Court has allowed Vermont to proceed with its lawsuit against Meta, alleging the company concealed the harmful effects of its platforms on young users. This decision is significant as it could set a precedent for holding powerful tech companies accountable for the impact of their products. Vermont’s attorney general argues that it's unjust for these corporations to be "judgment proof," meaning they can avoid legal consequences despite their actions. This move could prompt other states and entities to follow suit, potentially reshaping how tech companies are regulated and held responsible for societal harms.
