Zuckerberg Cleared of Personal Liability in Lawsuits

News summary

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, has been absolved of personal liability in 25 lawsuits accusing his company of causing social media addiction in children. A U.S. District Judge, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, dismissed claims that Zuckerberg was personally responsible for allegedly concealing mental health risks associated with Facebook and Instagram. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs failed to provide specific details about Zuckerberg's wrongdoing, emphasizing that 'control of corporate activity alone is insufficient' to establish personal liability. This ruling does not impact the ongoing claims against Meta itself. Despite the dismissal, the plaintiffs, represented by Previn Warren from Motley Rice, plan to continue gathering evidence to demonstrate that Big Tech prioritizes profits over children's safety. The lawsuits are part of broader litigation involving several social media platforms and are being pursued by children, families, and state attorneys general across the U.S.
