    I looked it up and it looks like there are two different ppl suing because they lost someone to suicide and Facebook did not give them the information needed.

    They recently shut down a ring of tens of thousands of accounts because they were participating in a Sextortion ring.

    According to the article I’m SC they claim that IG causes users to scroll mindlessly and keep them hooked because of the algorithm.

    Idk if I agree with the last one.

    But if they should have noticed that many accounts participate in something that exploits children, they have a responsibility to protect teens and kids.

    There are a bunch of tools they could put in place to prevent it. They knew it was happening.

    Anyway thats what I got from the couple articles I read.
